Sales Director Simon Gumbrill spoke about the reaction to the Open Day.   "Many people from all sides of our industry have already pre-registered and expressed their delight in being able to pay tribute to the man who changed the face of groundsmanship and greenkeeping in the UK and Europe. There can be no greater accolade for Richard and the team than by you supporting our Open Day.

It will be educational and informative. You will be able to see all of our machines; Koro's, Dakota's, Vredo, Imants, Omarv and Raycam in action and you can claim your BIGGA and IOG Points. But more than this you will be showing that you too have the same enormous respect and passion for the industry we all work in.

So come along and join with your industry partners in marking a significant milestone in the history of not just Campey Turf Care Systems but for Richard Campey personally."
