Well-known in the industry, Gareth Rogers has been appointed by
Symbio as Technical Sales Manager in Scotland.
A keen golfer, Gareth joins the Surrey-based firm after 5 years at
Fairways GM. Before moving into sales, his greenkeeping career spanned 20 years
at Grimsby, Elsham, Crieff Hydro, Merrist Wood and Gleneagles golf clubs.
He comments: “I’m delighted to have joined Symbio. As a former
greenkeeper, I know exactly what can be done to develop and maintain healthy
rootzones and excellent playing surfaces using its unique products and
approach. Sustainable technologies are changing the way sports turf is managed.
"With chemical
use under increasing pressure across Europe and being limited by legislation,
our product range goes a long way to filling the void.”
Established in 1990,
Symbio was the first company to combine soil biology and chemistry to develop a
range of industry-changing products including launching Green Circle in 1992,
the first biotech product for nutrient retention and recycling for sports turf.
Since then some of the company’s industry firsts include:- Thatch
Eater to convert thatch to plant food, mycorrhizal fungi to promote perennial
grasses and in some cases more than halve fertiliser use; Liquid Aeration to
oxygenate the rootzone; compost teas to restore life to chemically damaged and
compacted rootzones which together with a comprehensive selection of
fertilisers, biostimulants, Johnsons seeds and wetting agents, provides a
complete range for healthy soil and plant growth.
