Pop-up at Lloyds Banking Group (14th Oct 2019) We setup a pop-up at Lloyds Banking Group at Old Broad Street in the City of London.  This was the first event where we had our platform to show the Ambrogio L60 running and demonstrating it’s drop off sensors. We also had the Ambrogio L35 Deluxe and the Ambrogio 4.0 robot lawn mower models on display. A very tiring day (a 4am start) but well worth it.  As well as many people who had not contemplated buying a robot mower (or even realised that they existed), we also were approached by quite a few people who were already considering pur ..read more
