To support its continued growth and increase in sales, MTD Specialty Turf Products has announced the appointment of Scott Hawkins. Scott joins the team as territory sales manager for the South East, a role which will see him providing additional sales support on both the Cub Cadet TMSystem™ and INFINICUT®.

Scott joins MTD on the back of two years as football and cricket head groundsman at the La Manga Club in Spain. During this period he was responsible for overseeing all elements of grounds maintenance for the natural grass soccer pitches and cricket facilities – both of which are regularly in use by leading teams from around the world for warm-weather training. Prior to this, Scott worked at Fenner’s Cricket Ground for the University of Cambridge and began his career at Essex County Cricket Club.

Upon embarking on his latest venture, Scott said, “I’m very excited to be taking up this new position and working with such technologically advanced machinery. I have already enjoyed a busy BTME in Harrogate and look forward to using my knowledge and experience as a groundsman to work alongside turf managers, in both the golf and sports turf markets, helping them to achieve their aims.”

With work, and in his spare time, Scott enjoys travelling and is a keen sportsman – playing golf, cricket and tennis when time allows.
