RADLEY COLLEGE World-class sporting facilities are one of the cornerstones of prestigious boys ’ school , Radley College in Oxfordshire , and maintaining impeccable grounds is a must .
After 10 years of a successful partnership , Radley College has renewed its agreement with Reesink Turfcare for the second time .
Adam ’ s 19-strong grounds teams are responsible for maintaining the school ’ s grounds and gardens , 30 hectares of which are pure sport pitches including rugby pitches , cricket-squares , football pitches , astroturf hockey pitches and tennis courts and now has a nine-strong fleet of Toro mowers to help .
“ Flexibility is key ” cites head of grounds , Adam King : “ We ’ ve opted for a slightly different range of machines . Rather than having a smaller number of larger mowers we have gone for a wider range of smaller machines . This gives us ultimate flexibility and enables us to work smarter .
“ Down time is not an option . We seldom have issues , but our lease agreement has back-up care built into it so if we have a problem , I know I ’ ll have a mechanic on site the very next day .”
