The SAGE show takes place this week and as part of its schedule, advice on correctly calibrating liquid spray applications will be available.

Martin Sampson

Giving delegates the benefit of his experience and knowledge will be training company boss Martin Sampson, who will reveal the secrets of correct calibration at his 6 July presentation, from 12 noon to 12.45.
 
Approved by Lantra, Martin heads up Grounds Training at a time of soaring demand for spraying qualifications.
 
“Local authorities, schools, colleges and companies are more aware of the importance of training now,” he says. “If you are spraying, qualifications such as PA1 and PA6 are legal requirements but increasingly we’re seeing organisations wanting to upskill staff to give them the flexibility to spray in house, instead of using contractors.”
 
Martin’s 45-minute fast-track presentation is “a slice through how to calibrate, why we need it, what can go wrong if we don’t calibrate regularly and the importance of well-maintained kit”.
 
Jointly presenting with colleague Geraint Jenkins, Martin also covers correct choice of sprayer nozzles and reveals his own method of turning calibration from a maths puzzle to 20 minutes’ work.
 
SAGE takes place on 6-7 July at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern.
