TRACTO UK welcomes ASM for the North and Scotland
TRACTO UK is delighted to announce the appointment of Colin Teale as Area Sales Manager Scotland and North England.
Prior to joining TRACTO at the end of February 2025, Colin was Account Manager at Hilti covering South Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. With many years of experience in the automotive and construction sectors, Colin has in-depth knowledge of both machinery and construction site work, which will be put to immediate use in his new role. Latterly he has sold premium power tools, data driven services and measuring equipment. Data is becoming increasingly important in the trenchless technology sector, whilst measuring equipment plays its part in every
trenchless job.
In his new role, Colin is tasked with servicing a range of existing customers, whilst growing the client base in his area. With years of business to business and business to consumer sales experience under his belt and an adept negotiator, he is undergoing extensive product training in the world-class TRACTO trenchless technology range and meeting customers throughout his territory.
Roger Wahl, MD of TRACTO UK, is looking forward to working with Colin.
“We are pleased to appoint Colin to this key role in the business and we are sure he’ll enjoy great success as our new Area Sales Manager. The North and Scotland is an important area for us. “

Win-win in the 75th year of the Landia Chopper Pump
Landia has won a rapid sequence of new orders from the Biogas and Waste Management industries for its renowned chopper pumps and mixers.
Invented by Landia back in 1950, the latest chopper pump sales have come from an expanding food waste AD plant in Northern Scotland, a textile processor, and a major landfill site.
For the AD/Biogas installation, the Landia Chopper Pumps will be supplied in stainless steel so that they can provide many years’ service in the high-acidity application.
The textile processor also requires pumps that provide the best possible total cost of ownership. In the push towards net zero, an increasing number of companies in
this sector have been looking at utilising their waste streams as a feedstock for biogas.
Landia’s technical sales engineer, Howard Burton, commented:
“We continue to see a strong demand for our innovative Landia digester mixing system (which features our proven Chopper Pumps and proprietary GasMix nozzle), and also for our stand-alone Chopper Pumps in a wide variety of biogas tank/digester/storage/blending applications.”
He added: “In the long-established sectors for leachate and waste liquid storage, where we have pumps and mixers installed all over the UK, the new orders include an 18.5kW POP-I Mixer and a DGER-I Chopper Pump.
Landia's pumps and digester mixing systems are in strong demand.
