Rain Bird distributor Irish TurfCare has created a new, dedicated product specialist role and appointed Garreth Stears into the position.
Jim Holden is General Manager at Irish TurfCare and explains the rationale for having a specialist in place.
“TurfCare has always understood the crucial importance of irrigation to greenkeepers and sportsturf Managers. We’re proud of our distributor relationship with Rain Bird and we want to further enhance that with a product specialist providing the highest levels of service to Rain Bird customers in Ireland. Rain Bird is an extremely innovative company and the new role will be important in helping us demonstrate and communicate all the advantages that can be achieved by choosing Rain Bird products.
