The Royal Jersey Golf Club has become the latest course to sign an exclusive supply agreement with Sherriff Amenity.

The three year agreement covers the exclusive provision of fertilisers and chemicals.

Ben Blampied-Smyth has the task of maintaining a fine reputation and first-rate course standards, but given the current challenging financial climate, maintaining a course to such high standards is not an easy feat.

“The problem that we have on the island is that we are very limited to resources," said Ben. "A lot of the suppliers we previously used wanted me to pre-order our products and the delivery charges are quite high too. Sherriff Amenity has all the products I use and more. So instead of going to various suppliers on the Island and having to wait for various delivery times, Sherriff Amenity provides me with everything I need. Plus if I order over a certain amount they do the shipping for free which being on an island is a massive advantage.”

As Ben suggests, The Royal Jersey will benefit from volume group purchases and lower delivery costs, but will they will also be provided with a high level of technical support and the latest in new product technology available within the amenity arena.

“Sherriff Amenity provides a great service and products; if I’ve got a problem Rebecca will recommend two or three products and she will honestly tell me the advantages and disadvantages according to what I’m looking for. She will also give me feedback from other clubs that have used the products I’m interested in.”

Commenting on the agreement, Rebecca Turner, Sherriff Amenity’s Account Manager said: “I’m always pleased to help and give Ben advice where I can. We have established a great working relationship and, as with all our customers, I look forward to continuing our relationship with The Royal Jersey over the next few years.”
