David Cole , managing director of Reesink UK , says : “ We ’ re focused on introducing battery-powered machinery options to the UK turfcare market . Such products have been extremely well-received and this is the direction of travel for environmentally friendly technology at the moment , one we recognise will only gain more traction .
