Richard Dexter, Head of Grounds and Gardens at Oakham School, has reported successful results from using Limagrain grass seed.

Oakham School, situated in the market town of Oakham in Rutland, is a boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 10 to 18. 

The school has 43 acres of grass playing areas. Tasked with helping support the next generation of sporting talent is Richard, who, along with his team of seven dedicated staff members, keeps the turf in pristine condition.

“Oakham School has had a very long relationship with Limagrain and were even using it before I started working here," Richard said. "I’ve been here for nine years and have been using their products throughout that time.

“We use Limagrain’s MM50 solely for cricket pitches and then on the winter pitches, we use MM60 and Action Replay. The Limagrain grass seed provides us with good and fast germination, it always colours nicely through the winter and more importantly for me it’s hard wearing and fits our business extremely well.

“I receive great customer service from Limagrain – they are extremely knowledgeable and even when I don’t see one of their representatives I always feel that the support is there because they are always at the end of the phone if I need them.

“I’ve tried different products over the years from many different companies but Limagrain takes a bit of beating,” said Richard.
