The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show 2026 has now come to a close, and it proved to be a memorable week for the global turf industry. Held February 2nd–5th at the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando, Florida, this year’s event marked a historic milestone - the 100th anniversary of the GCSAA - creating a truly once-in-a-century celebration.

Howardson Group Ltd is proud to support the development of future engineering talent through structured apprenticeships that combine practical learning with real-world experience. To mark National Apprenticeship Week, the business is sharing the journey of Tyler Burton, who joined the company as an apprentice in 2022 and has since secured full-time employment as a Paint Shop Operative within its British manufacturing facility.

When it comes to achieving perfectly level playing surfaces, precision is everything. Whether you’re maintaining a fine turf area, preparing a cricket square, or levelling a bowls or golf green, even the smallest imperfections can affect play. That’s why many turf professionals consider the SISIS Trulute an essential hand tool in their maintenance arsenal.

Modern pitch maintenance isn’t about working harder - it’s about working smarter. With tighter maintenance windows, heavier usage and higher expectations, grounds teams need equipment that delivers maximum results with minimum passes.
That’s exactly where the SISIS Quadraplay stands apart.

SISIS, part of the Howardson Group, returned to BTME 2026 (20–22 January) with a focused portfolio of professional turf maintenance machinery, welcoming visitors to Stand 252 across three busy days at Harrogate. With greenkeepers and turf professionals looking ahead to the season, the emphasis was firmly on practical solutions that deliver consistent playing conditions while supporting long-term turf health.
