At just 34 years old, Aylestone Park Football Club’s head groundsman Nathan Cramp has already dedicated over half his life to the turf industry. His journey began at the very same club he now maintains -starting as an apprentice groundsman at the age of 16 while also playing for Aylestone Park. After leaving in 2016 to broaden his experience, he returned in May 2024 to take charge of the club’s extensive facilities and help restore the site to its full potential.

The Howardson Group, manufacturer of world-renowned turf maintenance equipment under the Dennis, Hunter Grinders and SISIS brands, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sharper Solutions Pty Limited as its exclusive distributor for Australia.

After nearly five decades of dedicated service, Andy Walker, Field Support Manager at the Howardson Group, is set to retire, marking the end of an era for one of the industry’s most respected figures.

Stoke City FC’s long-standing Grounds Manager, Andy Jackson, believes that synthetic pitches demand more attention than people might expect – and that’s exactly why the Syn-Pro by SISIS SVR 1500 has become an essential part of his maintenance regime at the training ground.

A team from Howardson Group is preparing to take on the formidable National Three Peaks Challenge in memory of their much-missed colleague, Joe Emery.
