FGM Claymore has expanded its robotic mower division, focusing on the expansion of commercial robot sales. 

L-R: Paul Butterly with Sam Daybell

Echo Robotics, a subsidiary of Yamabiko, is a manufacturer of large commercial robot mowers, serving customers in the golf, sports turf, leisure, education, and local authority markets. The range is also sold under the brand ‘Belrobotics’ across Europe.

With the addition to FGM’s commercial brand portfolio, the company have recently welcomed Sam Daybell to the team. The company say that as head of the robotics division, Sam is driving business development across Ireland and the U.K. A main figure in the commercial robotics industry, FGM say Sam brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise in commercial robot mower sales and has already established a solid dealer network in the U.K.

“This is a great opportunity.” Sam said. “Echo Robotics produce the best commercial robots on the market; so, after every new installation, I know that the customer is going to be happy with the outcome. In sales, that’s the best possible situation.”

Paul Butterly, managing director at FGM Claymore, is the driving force behind the move into robotics. “The addition of Echo Robotics perfectly complements our existing commercial Echo offering alongside our OREC range of OPE. Along with battery handheld and zero turns, robots remain an important segment in the market and I believe that we now have a world-class offering in all three product categories. Sam is arguably the most well-known and well-respected figure in the industry, so we were delighted that he agreed to join us.” 

FGM say there are dealer franchise opportunities available in both Ireland and the U.K.
