Well-known in the sector! Tijs Meeske & Joep van Cranenbroek (Hi Sports), with the HiPSter, the smart field meter that measures hardness, grip and ball bounce in real-time and displays it directly in a dashboard. New in the sector! Tom Worthy (Howardson Group Ltd), around the Dennis Mowers, from robust cylinder mowers to the sustainable, quiet E-Series on battery. Legends in the sector! Plus a new top machine, which we are not allowed to talk about yet. But that will come soon … 🤫 #omerta Keep it Green, with title manager Thomas Goossens as the spearhead, ensured the green thread throughout the event.
