For more than three decades, Estates Operations Manager Charlie Yeomans has worked behind the scenes to keep one of the UK’s busiest multi-sport campuses performing at the highest level. With year-round fixtures, external events and unpredictable weather placing constant pressure on the university’s natural turf surfaces, reliable equipment has become essential to maintaining standards.

Ben Archer’s journey in greenkeeping is built on experience, progression and a clear understanding of what it takes to maintain high-quality playing surfaces.

Maintaining a football pitch is no easy task - especially for volunteer groundsmen who juggle other commitments alongside their love for the sport. For Tom Banks, a dedicated volunteer at Kirkoswald Football Club, the SISIS Quadraplay has been nothing short of a game-changer.

Henllys Golf Club has long been challenged by wet and waterlogged greens. When Head Greenkeeper Cefyn Owen first arrived, the conditions were so severe that water would run off the surrounding hills and forests straight onto the greens, making them unplayable and even causing the club to lose members.

Behind every top-quality football match lies a well-maintained pitch. Whether it's a professional stadium or a local training ground, the condition of the playing surface can directly impact player safety, performance and the longevity of the pitch itself.

One tool that plays a key role in maintaining these surfaces-but often goes unnoticed-is the SISIS Drag Brush. Designed for heavy-duty use on both artificial (synthetic) and natural grass football pitches, the drag brush is a simple yet powerful solution for keeping pitches in peak condition.
