SALTEX Debut For Net World Sports

August 31, 2018/in Events, Press Release/by Emily Strickland

Net World Sports is a leading retailer within the industry, offering more than 5,000 quality products, across 20 different sports, to customers in over 100 countries worldwide. From football goals which grace Premier League pitches to nets tough enough to withstand Freddie Flintoff’s shot, Net World Sports supply it all, along with state-of-the-art ground equipment.

With an award-winning Customer Care team available from 6am – midnight Monday to Friday as well as 9am – 5pm on weekends, Net World Sports can cater to all clubs, local authorities, schools and universities quickly and efficiently. The majority of products are stocked at their single 120,000 square foot warehouse in North Wales and available for next day delivery to the UK, one-day shipping to America and two-day shipping to Australia – a service that’s virtually unheard of in the world of big and bulky sports equipment.

Robbie Hayter, Specialist Sales and Development Lead at Net World Sports comments: “We’re very excited to be exhibiting at SALTEX for the first time this year and partnering with the show as lanyard sponsors. It marks a huge milestone in Net World Sports’ company history and we’re really looking forward to meeting the ground care professionals and learning more about their maintenance requirements to help develop their facilities in the future. Not to mention showcasing our top of the range, industry leading products to them.

“Real ingenuity, incredible skill and advanced manufacturing all play a part when it comes to creating our products. Whether you’re looking for training, playing or maintaining equipment, all of our products have proven performance and look at home in clubs and colleges across the country, from grassroots to Premier League level.”

Net World Sports’ extensive training and playing equipment covers a range of varying sports, from football and rugby to tennis, golf and cricket, whilst their ground equipment covers everything from line marking machines and paint, to portable and permanent team shelters, crowd barriers, boot wiper brushes and pitch dividers.

To date, the ecommerce company has supplied the likes of Manchester United’s AON Complex with exclusive FORZA football goals, Manchester City’s first team training pitch with custom made shelters, The All England Tennis Club and home of Wimbledon with tennis benches and Trent Bridge with custom batting cage nets.

Founded in 2009, Net World Sports has become renowned for its winning combination of quality products, unbeatable value for money and exceptional customer service. Last year, the UK’s number one football goal supplier was the only company to be featured in The Sunday Times Fast Track 100, Profit Track and SME Export Track league tables, placing 85^th, 66^th and 43^rd respectively. The team also competed against eCommerce giants such as AO.com, Made.com and ASOS in this year’s Retail Week Awards, where they were awarded a ‘Mark of Excellence’ for their ongoing international sales success.

You can find Net World Sports at exhibitor stand C107.

An Update From Scott MacCallum

August 30, 2018/in News, Press Release/by Scott MacCallum

An Update From Scott MacCallum: Most of the major sporting events for the year have concluded, the schools are back and the universities are preparing to welcome back their students.

So what to make of 2018? Well, from a sporting perspective it’s been pretty exciting. The World Cup was exciting, or being a Scot, I’m told it was exciting, with Gareth’s boys exceeding expectations. As it progressed through the knock-out stages, those expectations had shot up again and many thought the 52 years of hurt were going to end.

Glasgow’s European Championships were a success while I don’t recall any of the regular sporting calendar highlights letting the side down in the football, rugby, tennis, golf, cricket, horse racing. That said, Andy Murray’s non appearance at Wimbledon did reduce excitement at SW19, but we are going to have to get used a life post-Andy going forward I’m afraid to say.

But the point I was going to make was that, as far as I can recall, there were no negative headlines from a turf management side of things.

No complaints from disgruntled losers, no injuries directly attributable to a surface, no Head Groundsman or Course Manager being named and shamed in public. That’s not to say that everything went perfectly in every instance.

Of course, things went wrong. You don’t need highly talented people in position if everything were to go swimmingly on every occasion. You guys are paid to resolve problems, but to do it, more often than not, quietly, efficiently, without fuss and without headlines.

Looking forward it’s hard to see how the quality bar can be raised much more but we can probably look to attain the same standards with fewer chemical applications – both for environmental reasons and the fact that it is likely that we will see costs rise as we stumble through Brexit.

On an artificial turf perspective the Rubber Crumb issue will continue to run. A six month consultation process on reducing acceptable levels of carcinogens has just started and I just hope that the safety of the end user – groundsman and sportsman – is placed before cost when a final decision is made.

So as greenkeepers start planning their winter programmes and groundsmen continue to turn out super surfaces in all conditions I wish you all well going forward.
