Peckham Town Football Club, a long-established community club based in London, has reinforced its commitment to sustainability and high-performance facilities with the acquisition of a Dennis ES-34R electric rotary mower, alongside the addition of a Dennis G860 cassette mower to its maintenance fleet.

For more than three decades, Stoke City’s Grounds Manager Andy Jackson has been at the heart of the club’s pitch care. Beginning his career as an apprentice at the old Victoria Ground, he has grown with the club, becoming Head Groundsman around 2002–2003 and later Grounds Manager, a role he has now held for approximately 15 years. With over 30 years of service, Andy’s deep connection to the club makes him the ideal figure to lead Stoke City into a new era of sustainable turf management.

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.

There’s something special about the smell of fresh turf and the perfectly cut stripes of a football pitch especially when it signals the start of a new era. That’s exactly what’s happening at Pride Park this season, where Derby County has unveiled a completely reconstructed playing surface. After a decade of service, the previous pitch had reached the end of its life, prompting the club to invest in a full rebuild over the summer.

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.
