RAISING INDUSTRY STANDARDS At Leicester City FC’s new Sports Turf Academy by TurfPro Editor, Laurence Gale MSC, MBPR
I recently met Jonathan Knowles, Head of Sports Turf Academy, to discuss a range of industry subjects including the evolution of apprenticeship programs in the UK and inspiring the next generation of turf professionals.
In our first WEB ONLY story, the deal has not only secured the future of the historic golf club and saved jobs, but, unusually, it will also deliver a significant dividend to its 400-plus members.
In our next WEB ONLY story, the Association says the change of venue promises a "fresh and exciting backdrop for one of the biggest events in the sports turf industry calendar."
Course has been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders, including esteemed former Amenity Forum Chair, and current TurfPro contributor, John Moverley.
