ANDY RUTLAND
Area Sales Manager + Product Specialist
About Andy
Andy has been in the industry all his working life and has a wealth of experience and product knowledge. He could fill most roles in the business with that experience, from the workshop to being on the road and is happy, once again to be helping his customers in the Oxfordshire area select the right machines for their needs. He is also our go-to man for dealing with our in-house Suffolk ® brand as he knows the product inside out. Andy sees himself as a bit of a handyman about the house but might be known not to adhere to the old adage of ‘measure twice, cut once’. He can often be found down at our on-site lake, after work, in the summer months as he likes a spot of fishing. He has also enjoyed attending a few race meetings this year watching our landlord, Steve Hill, compete.

GREG SWAIN

Greg is our ‘go to’ guy out in the field, spending most of his working days traversing the countryside fixing customers kit. He is very well respected by customers and peers alike for both his knowledge and work ethic. Greg started with us in the Risboro’ Turf days as our apprentice and after a short spell with Turners was ‘poached’ back into the company about 10 years ago. Greg has 3 kids and a mad dog (in that order) and enjoys taking them camping and the outside life. His idea of sport is anything on 4 wheels with an engine and would rather be coated in oil than clean.

Mark joined the company in 2017 and coming from a mainly 2-stroke background, he is our go-to man for issues with this kit. He also has a background in forestry but spends most of his free time on his passion of scuba diving, often instructing and training novice divers. Mark was warned about the ‘childish’ banter in the service department and has certainly fitted in well on that score and is happy to spread a few ‘digs’, at others, himself.
