David Wolfson of MK Canals, said, “We’re really grateful to Stiga for the great pieces of kit we’ve been given. Our work at MK Canals is all about managing and running projects to improve our local canals for all users. Keeping the towpaths and banks properly managed is vital work which we carry out along with colleagues from other local and national bodies such as the Buckingham Canal Society, the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway Trust (BMK), the Inland Waterways Association (IWA) and the Canal and River Trust (CRT). Stiga’s equipment will help us do this now and in the years to come. Thank you!”
