BTME
Finally, Harrogate is back! Covid wiped the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition from the 2021 calendar completely and the recent Omicron variant pushed the event from its January slot to March – but there’s no stopping it now. Over 150 companies from across the UK and Europe will descend on the Harrogate International Centre to showcase their latest products and innovations. Organisers BIGGA will also be featuring their extensive ‘Continue to Learn’ professional development programme. BTME is free to attend, there is no deadline to book your ticket and you can register on-site on each of the three days – but BIGGA recommend you register in advance to avoid queueing and for quick entry. See you there! 42 | TURF MATTERS | MARCH-APRIL 2022
What BTME means to us, explains exhibitor GreenBest With preparations in hand, exhibitor spaces allocated and close to 5,000 attendees pre-registered GreenBest wanted to take a look back on what BTME meant to them as a company and to the turf management industry. Marketing Executive Aimee Kingdon said: “BTME has always proven a success for GreenBest and our Velvit brand. It’s an opportunity to network with current customers and seek out new business. We’re looking forward to being back at the Harrogate Convention Centre to showcase what GreenBest has to offer.” GreenBest has attended BTME since its initial introduction, showcasing the Velvit brand. In 2019 they exhibited Velvit and GreenBest together for the first time and due to its success, continued to do this in 2020. The Velvit range offers over 50 professional turf fertilisers, biostimulants and wetting agents, available through multiple distributors throughout the UK and abroad.
This year the company has decided to add information about their SmartLawn Fertilisers range to their stand to explain all that GreenBest has to offer. The SmartLawn Fertiliser range offers specialist lawn treatments designed specifically for the professional lawn care industry. Manufactured in the UK and available to the trade, this off-the-shelf range is in stock and ready to order. GreenBest’s been in the industry for over 20 years offering bespoke manufacturing, producing under the customer’s own brand and specifications. Fortunately, as a flexible manufacturer they say they have been able to give their customers exactly what they wanted, even through recent difficult times. “Attending shows allows us to connect with our customers. They are also a great opportunity for team building and training.” At BTME, find GreenBest in the Blue Zone, stand 144.
