Rain Bird Europe has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Lukas Böttcher as Golf Sales Specialist for Germany and Switzerland.
Having spent all his career in greenkeeping and golf course management working at golf courses throughout Europe, Böttcher joins the company to strengthen the team in Germany. In his previous role as Head Greenkeeper, he managed strict water restrictions and focused on water conservation during multiple drought-affected seasons.
“Working in golf course construction and turf management has given me a significant amount of hands-on experience building, maintaining and running irrigation systems,” said Böttcher. “Having dealt with water restrictions, constant heat stress during the summer and tight irrigation windows, I understand the pressure a lot of golf courses are under to use every drop of water in the most efficient way.
“As Golf Sales Specialist I will be helping clubs with Rain Bird systems to optimise their efficiency. I am also looking forward to supporting those looking to upgrade or renovate their irrigation system with Rain Bird technology.”
Didier Genty, Europe Golf Sales Manager for Rain Bird, added: “I am delighted to welcome Lukas to Rain Bird. He brings valuable, practical experience in the golf sector and considerable expertise in irrigation and water management.”
