Clifton College

Andy has been at Clifton for four years after joining from Harrow School where he held the same position. He manages both the grounds and gardens team which consists of three gardeners, six groundsmen, a mechanic and a handyman. 

“I have been using Limagrain’s Action Replay on all of my dual surfaces at the college where rugby, football and cricket are played and I also use MM50 on my cricket squares. I have been very pleased with the rapid establishment of the seed and its development. The Action Replay mixture provides excellent value for money and good strong surfaces,” he said.

Action Replay is a product of Limagrain’s Designer range of amenity grass seed mixtures. It is renowned for extremely fast germination rapidly producing a dense hard wearing sward.

Andy uses MM50 which is a fine leaved ryegrass mix. It has fast establishment and quick recovery after play on his cricket squares which along with its high wear tolerance and excellent all round turf quality makes it an ideal mix for cricket.

As well as lavishing praise on Limagrain’s products, Andy was also keen to point out that he receives excellent customer service from the company.

“I have really enjoyed working with Matt Gresty (Amenity Manager for Limagrain UK) who has been very useful in helping me with seed selection. I would certainly recommend Limagrain products to others looking for similar solutions,” he said.
