Movers and shakers: Lukas Böttcher

Rainbird Europe has appointed Lukas Böttcher as Golf Sales Specialist for Germany and Switzerland.

In his previous role as Head Greenkeeper, Böttcher managed strict water restrictions and focused on water conservation during multiple drought-affected seasons.

Commenting on his appointment, Böttcher said: “Working in golf course construction and turf management has given me a significant amount of hands-on experience building, maintaining and running irrigation systems. 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.”
