BIGGA has revealed turf machinery manufacturer Jacobsen as its headline sponsor for their BIGGA Celebration, taking place on the opening evening of BTME.

Members of the FTMI Class of 2022 sponsored by Jacobsen joined the BIGGA team on the Celebration stage in January
 
The free-to-attend welcome event is held in the Harrogate Convention Centre and is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of BIGGA members from throughout 2023. Hosted by a golfing celebrity, event is described as an opportunity to celebrate everything that’s great about the greenkeeping industry.
 
At the Celebration, the association will reveal the winners of the BIGGA Awards 2024 as well as recognising the latest life members, Master Greenkeepers, the FTMI Class of 2023, BIGGA Photography Competition winner and others.
 
BIGGA’s head of business development, Lauren Frazer, said, “BIGGA members do extraordinary things every day of their working lives and this event is an opportunity for the association to celebrate their achievements. The BIGGA Celebration is a wonderful event that is growing in popularity each year and I’m thankful to Jacobsen for their incredible support.”
 
Jacobsen’s International marketing manager, Adam Underwood, added, “The significance of BIGGA’s role within the greenkeeping industry and their vision of elevating the recognition of association members for their exceptional contributions as custodians of the game of golf, align seamlessly with our core values at Jacobsen Fine Turf Mowers. We take great pride in our longstanding sponsorship of the Future Turf Manager’s Initiative and we eagerly anticipate extending our support to the industry by sponsoring the BIGGA Celebration at BTME in Harrogate.”
