Consolidate Turf has a combined experience of over 100 years in the amenity sector. They say they provide a blend of first-hand practical experience with a vast knowledge in plant physiology. Products are manufactured at a new premises along with a 10,000sq ft warehouse that has enabled the company to expand to meet clients' present turf needs.
Aqua Aid Europe is a young company that has established itself worldwide in the professional sports turf and horticulture industry. In a brief time it has built a reputation for providing products for soil health which are now used at many of Europe's leading sports venues.
By establishing a partnership of mutual co-operation, Aqua-Aid Europe is now the exclusive distributor for growing solutions for the whole of the EU continent.
Hans de Kort, managing director of Aqua-Aid Europe described the reasons behind the new partnership, saying “Brexit created several challenges for European end users wishing to obtain certain products from the UK. Our objective is to remove the obstacles that have deterred customers from coming forward, by creating a full-service warehouse in Holland. From here we can ship across Europe within the partner network as well as direct to customers.”
The mix of Consolidate Turf nutrition products combined with Aqua Aid Surfactants and bio-stimulants has proven to be successful in areas such as football and golf. To facilitate the efficient and uninterrupted supply, Aqua Aid has begun the process of registering all products it handles to the new EU fertiliser regulation, including a CE labelling project to avoid separate registration in all EU countries. This guarantees a smooth process of delivery to all customers.
Paul Benson managing director of Consolidate Turf agreed with Hans, saying, “It has become increasingly important to have the right partners and network to find the ideal way to the market. Consolidate Turf has become an increasingly important partner for Aqua Aid in the UK. Therefore, by establishing this co-operation between our companies, we believe we have a devised a scenario where everyone in the UK and Europe benefits.”
