A Brilliant Day at RTM Show Live 2025: Sunshine, Demos and a Royal Honour

On Wednesday 25 June 2025, we joined the crowds at the RT Machinery Show Live in Aylesbury – and what a day it turned out to be! Widely recognised as the UK’s largest one-day “Live-and-Running” Ground Care and Turf Machinery event, the show offered an action-packed schedule including demos, displays and industry networking – all under glorious blue skies.

With over 30 leading manufacturers in attendance plus expert talks and product showcases the day was a celebration of everything that makes this industry so dynamic and forward-thinking. The atmosphere was upbeat and busy from the moment the gates opened. Robert Jack, Area Sales Manager at the Howardson Group, summed it up perfectly, describing a full day of non-stop engagement with a broad mix of customers.

“We were busy all day, constantly talking to both familiar faces and new prospects,” he shared. “We had interest from all corners – from Premier League football clubs and private schools to local authorities and grassroots clubs. It was a real mix and a brilliant chance to discuss our vast product range and explore their needs.”

Attendees were able to get up close and personal with a range of both Dennis and SISIS equipment with both Robert and fellow colleague Paul Elphick sharing their product knowledge. Equipment on show included the Dennis Razor Ultra, ES-860, Dennis S500 Plus and the FT510 amongst others. SISIS equipment included the Dart aeration machine, Autoslit, RR600 and the popular Quadraplay amongst others.

Robert noted that there was strong demand for demos and follow-ups, reflecting genuine interest in new equipment and technology on display. “We’ve had a lot of demo requests and conversations that we’re confident will lead to sales,” he added. “It’s been a valuable day for us.”

RT Machinery have a well-earned reputation for putting on a top-quality show and this year was no exception. Guests were treated to hot food and the now-famous Becky’s cakes all served with the kind of warm, welcoming hospitality the team is known for.

“We were really well looked after,” said Robert. “The food and hospitality were fantastic- it’s just a really well-run event from start to finish.”

One of the highlights of the day was a proud moment for RT Machinery themselves: the official unveiling of their new Royal Warrant to His Majesty The King. This special recognition was celebrated with a formal ceremony attended by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Sir Francis Habgood and the Mayor of Aylesbury, Councillor Nidhi Mehta. RT Machinery’s Managing Director Richard Taylor was presented with the prestigious award by the Vice Lord Lieutenant himself.

“It was a real privilege to be there for Richard’s big moment,” Robert said. “To see the Royal Warrant being presented in person with local dignitaries in attendance made the day even more memorable.”

As the sun began to set on a packed day, the feeling across the site was one of real satisfaction; “It’s been a long, warm and busy day,” Robert concluded, “but absolutely worth every minute.”

With strong interest, excellent organisation and a memorable royal milestone, RTM Show Live 2025 was a resounding success. We’re proud to have been part of it – and we’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
