SALTEX 2022 continues to attract the best in the business – with visitor registrations from over 20 countries already, a roll call of domestic and international exhibitors signed-up, and an impressive line-up of expert speakers and industry specialists standing ready to provide support, insight, and real solutions to key industry issues.

• This year’s Learning LIVE programme has been extended to over 30 sessions.
• Influential speakers will be addressing a range of key issues impacting the industry.
• High on the agenda are sustainability and environmental issues.

INTRODUCING… Already confirmed to bring their insights and advice to the stage are Tony Hanson from Environmental Solutions International, Robin Price from Anglian Water and Bob Hillier from the Environment Agency discussing, in a presentation not to be missed, their paper on ‘Reducing the impact of future water restrictions on golf and sports turf’ – an extremely timely subject as the sector deals with the results of climate change and approaching drought restrictions.

Also on the agenda will be pay, career development, how to negotiate in the workplace and where to find out about the millions of pounds of grant funding available from sports clubs.

Other seminar highlights include Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) discussing the options, implications, and cost of recycling synthetic turf in the UK. Speaking on the subject will be Colin Corline from SAPCA, David James from Labosport LTD and Alastair Cox from the European Synthetic Turf Council.

Some of this year’s exhibitors are Block Blitz, Coverlawn Hybrid Turf, Domo Sports Grass, Chapell Enterprises, Duralock UK Ltd, Hilltip, Nomix Enviro, Ritchie & Ritchie Products, Turfcare, and International Greenkeepers.

There are a number of overseas visitors, including Head groundsman at Sydney University and the International Greenkeepers Association Daryl Davidson, is one such overseas visitor, travelling from the other side of the world for “this great opportunity to catch up with a heap of new and old friends from our great industry,” it was he says, “an easy decision to jump on board”.
