Leadership and Philosophy
Under the leadership of owner and Managing Director Paul Benson, the company has established itself as a leading force dedicated to supporting the health and resilience of sports turf. Its philosophy is centred on equipping plants with the foundational elements and support systems needed to thrive under a wide range of environmental stresses. Rather than following traditional methods, the firm has developed products that focus on efficient uptake and practical results in the field.

A hallmark of the approach is the ongoing refinement of product application. Working closely with grounds teams and end users, solutions are ensured to perform reliably across varying climates, soil types, and grass species. There is a strong emphasis on making products that are simple to use and flexible, allowing grounds professionals to apply them in different weather conditions and consistently achieve robust turf performance.
Plant Health Solutions
Unlike conventional fertilisers, the Consolidate range is designed as a plant health solution rather than just a nutrient input. The unique application methods target the root zone, supporting the turf’s natural ability to manage stress and recover from daily challenges. This focus on the root system encourages strong plant development, improved stress tolerance, and consistent outcomes on real-world sports surfaces.

Products have been shaped by ongoing feedback from the industry, with a constant emphasis on practical solutions that are easy to implement and cost-effective. Collaboration with users also enables continuous improvements, keeping maintenance straightforward while optimising the potential of the playing surface.

By helping plants maintain integrity at the cellular and protein level, the range enables turf to perform at its best, even in challenging environments such as stadiums with artificial lighting or high humidity.
Mission and Future Developments
