Campey Turf Care Systems has appointed Steve Hunt as area product specialist for the South West region of the UK.

Steve takes over from the irrepressible Ian Pogson who will be stepping back from front line selling in 2015, taking on a more ambassadorial role. He will be promoting the benefits and advantages of natural turf in sport through seminars and open days.


Ian 'Poggy' Pogson

Poggy, as he is affectionately known within the trade, is currently showing Steve the ropes. He will be introducing him to many of the regions dealers and customers who already have strong relationships with Campeys.

Steve aged 45, lives in Wincanton, Somerset with his partner Jo and two children. Until recently he worked in sales for leading Dutch firm BOSTA selling components to the water industry.

Richard Campey is pleased Steve is joining the team. "It's important to keep our sales team at full capacity. Steve is enthusiastic and has a genuine interest in the industry as well as a good solid sales background.

"No doubt, with a little instruction from Poggy, one of the finest characters in the business , he will soon be making his mark."
