DJ Turfcare invests in new sales force

DJ Turfcare is proud to exclusively offer the UK’s most comprehensive range of RHS-endorsed organic and organic-based lawn and garden fertilisers, including the ever-popular MO Bacter, Lawn Boost and Recovery products. To support its garden centre customers and to provide a top-class service, DJ Turfcare has announced that it has expanded its UK sales force ahead of the 2023 season.

 

Following the retirement of Sales Manager, Stephen Parry, DJ Turfcare has invested in adding seven new sales agents to support garden centre customers the length and breadth of the country. Supporting DJ Turfcare’s sales growth in 2023 will be:

  • Miles Cleall, covering the South Downs, Kent, Reading, South London and the Channel Islands
  • Graham Hurren, covering Norfolk, Sussex and Essex
  • Tom Stolworthy, covering the North West and East Midlands
  • Jill Thomas, covering the West Country including Avon & Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire
  • Jon Davis, covering the West Midlands, plus Herefordshire, South Wales, Wiltshire and Isle of Man
  • Steve Wilkie, covering Scotland and Northern England including Middlesborough, plus Northern Ireland
  • Gary Martin, covering Scotland and Northern England including the Lake District

Talking about these new appointments, DJ Turfcare’s Managing Director, David Jenkins said: “At DJ Turfcare we have an incredible success story to tell, with our entire portfolio 100% organic and organic-based, which provide excellent results time after time. With our new sales force we are able to hold face to face discussions, assisting the retailer to understand the unique benefits of our products. Additionally, our sales agents can bring innovative ideas to the stores. It’s an exciting prospect and we’re looking forward to supporting our customers more than ever throughout the 2023 season and beyond.”

 

The DJ Turfcare portfolio

MO BACTER – MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser is a perfect start to the lawncare calendar. Slow releasing, MO Bacter rids your lawn of moss and improves soil condition over a period of 12 week, making it the ideal feed for your lawn in the spring. MO Bacter is packed full of healthy bacteria that will convert thatch into nourishing plant feed which lasts for up to 100 days.  RRP starting from £16.99

 

LAWN BOOST - This organic-based feed solution is perfect for moss-free lawns.  Suitable for use throughout spring and summer, Lawn Boost kickstarts the lawn following winter and will encourage healthy growth and is highly drought resistant. RRP £31.99

 

RECOVERY - This granular fertiliser helps repair and nourish your lawn using a blend of effective ingredients including Humifirst, which creates biological activity that stimulates plant growth and delivers a strengthened, long-lasting green lawn. Recovery can be applied prior to reseeding, laying new turf, post- drought or flooding, or following a period of extensive wear and tear. RRP starting from £18.99

 

BIO-LIME – Exclusively designed for lawns with a low pH, Bio-Lime combats moss-loving acidic soil by sweetening the soil and raising its pH to encourage healthy strong grass to grow. A key ingredient of Bio-Lime is magnesium, which helps the lawn to maintain its colour throughout the cold winter months, making it the ideal year-round lawn treatment. RRP £32.99

 

AUTUMN LAWN TREATMENT - A unique organic-based fertiliser, Autumn Lawn Treatment has been created for use during August to November to destroy moss whilst also stimulating strong roots and providing grass with 100 days of food to encourage a greener, thicker, stronger and disease-resistant sward throughout winter and long into spring. RRP £31.99
