FGM Claymore say that since acquiring UK distribution rights for the Echo brand three years ago - and more recently introducing the Echo Robotics range of commercial robots, they have ". . . experienced significant growth in the autonomous turf care sector."

In support of this, the company have announced the appointment of James Tatters, who they say brings over 10 years of experience with the Echo Robotics commercial product line. “James’s expertise will further strengthen our support and service offering as we continue to lead in autonomous turf care,” said Paul Butterly, managing director of FGM Claymore.

James will work closely with Sam Daybell, head of robotics for the UK and Ireland, as the robotics division continues to grow. FGM say this growth is further marked by the launch of Sunseeker Elite, a new domestic robotic line.
