Sherriff Amenity has announced the appointment of new amenity specialist Craig Spooner, who will be responsible for covering the East Anglian area for the company. Craig joins from Limagrain, the largest seed company in Europe.

With an impressive employment history including greenkeeping positions at a string of golf clubs such as The Forest of Arden, The Isle of Purbeck and Leatherhead, Craig landed the role of Head Greenkeeper at Bourn Golf Club near Cambridge, where he oversaw the redevelopment of the greens. His career path then took him to Limagrain where he specialised in the Amenity sector for nearly eight years. It was during this position that he first worked with Sherriff Amenity when he supported the sales team who were selling the MM and Designer range of seed.

"I got to know quite a lot of Sherriff Amenity customers during my time at Limagrain. I liked the idea of having more products to talk to people about; Sherriff Amenity have the best product range for greenkeepers and groundsman in the amenity sector and being such an established company I felt that it would be good move. The more I thought about it I just felt that it was a great opportunity for me. It was an easy decision really," said Craig.
