Howardson Group is delighted to announce the appointment of Scott Reynolds as Key Account Manager, bringing over a decade of experience in the turfcare industry and an extensive knowledge of professional grounds maintenance products.
Scott began his career in turf-care nearly twelve years ago at RT Machinery Ltd, his family’s business. Over the years he progressed through various roles including Area Sales Representative, Area Sales Manager, Sales Manager and most recently General Manager.
During the pandemic, he also spent a year managing the after-sales and parts department, gaining valuable insight into operations and business management. Throughout his career, Scott has worked across sales, demonstrations and after-sales for a wide range of professional turfcare brands, including Dennis and SISIS.
Commenting on his appointment, Scott said:
"Dennis mowers are best in class for pedestrian cylinder mowers. I take huge pride in supplying these products to a wide variety of customers, including grass sports clubs, schools, local authorities, contractors and professional sports grounds. The brand is very strong, the product in high demand and with new electric mowers and other innovations coming to market it’s a very exciting time to be joining the business."
As Key Account Manager, Scott will be working closely with Howardson Group colleagues, dealers and end-users to drive sales activity and results across the company’s four leading brands: Dennis, SISIS, Syn-Pro and Hunter Grinder. He will be focusing on strengthening relationships with dealers, supporting them to expand sales to the diverse customer base of professional and grassroots sports facilities, local authorities, and contractors.
"The role at Howardson Group was easy to accept - it’s the logical next step in my career," Scott added. "I’m looking forward to building on the great work already achieved here and through the dealer network and to helping the business achieve even greater success."
Scott brings with him strong industry relationships developed over more than ten years working with Dennis and SISIS, which he hopes to leverage to deliver positive results in his new role. Joining the business ahead of the busy show season, he is eager to meet customers, dealers and colleagues to plan for the future.
Outside of work, Scott is a dedicated family man who enjoys spending time with his wife and young son who already shares his enthusiasm for turfcare machinery. He is also actively involved in sports, managing a non-league football club and playing cricket, often spending time at sports facilities both professionally and personally.
"I am hugely excited to be joining such a well-established business and team," Scott concluded. "Howardson Group are one of the leading British manufacturers, and I look forward to contributing to the company’s continued growth and success."
David Williamson, Commercial Director at Howardson Group, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Scott to the team. His extensive experience, combined with strong relationships with dealers and customers, makes him a perfect fit for the Key Account Manager role. Scott’s expertise and passion for our brands will be invaluable as we continue to grow our presence and support customers across Dennis, SISIS and Hunter Grinders.”
