Poweroll, who have their self propelled Cricket and Lawn Tennis Rollers used worldwide, including the West Indies, as well as in the UK at the All England Lawn tennis Club and the Hampshire Rose Bowl, are one of only two companies manufacturing these desirable machines.
"Withnin the first few hours of the show opening, Poweroll made their first sale, selling one of their larger models for use in Pakistan," said Paul Harris, Sales Manager for the Company.
"Rashid Latif, the former Pakistan Cricket Captain between 1988-2003, delayed his flight back to Pakistan for 24 hours so that he could visit our stand, as he was intent on purchasing the Poweroll 15 before his return," said Paul. This machine will be used at the highly renowned Rashid Latif Cricket Academy in Karachi and will be exported from the Cornwall factory next week in time for the new Pakistan Cricket season.
The brand name Poweroll, first introduced a roller in 1997 and was designed by Trevor Luckhurst, the managing Director of Power Precision & Fabrication Ltd., founded in 1966. Every two years Trevor has designed and introduced a new model for the Cricket and Tennis market and which now makes Poweroll the most appelaing with the largest range in terms of size and price of any other specialist roller manufacturer in the world.
