Quality equipment meets quality fuel

For Hampshire’s Wildwood Machinery, supplying premium groundcare equipment has always been about more than simply selling machines. It’s about providing customers with the products, advice and support they need to get the best performance from their investment – which is why the company’s partnership with Aspen Fuel has been such a natural fit.

Quality equipment meets quality fuel

As distributors for Aspen’s alkylate petrol for the last 18 months, Wildwood Machinery can offer customers a cleaner, high-quality fuel that complements the leading brands within the dealership’s portfolio. As Managing Director James Bastian goes on to explain, the partnership is not only delivering significant health and environmental benefits for the operator, it is also helping to reduce costly servicing and maintenance issues typically triggered by the use of conventional pump petrol.

“Being an Aspen distributor has been a fantastic fit alongside our machinery range” he says. “The fuel is safer to handle and store, delivers better engine longevity and offers our customers the convenience of not needing to source their fuel elsewhere.”

James continues, “There’s a lot to like about the Aspen product, not least the sustainability angle which ties in nicely with Wildwood’s own environmental ethos and that of the wider groundcare industry. The lower overall emissions and reduced exposure to harmful fumes is a real plus for the greenkeepers and grounds staff using this fuel day in, day out, making a real difference to operations both immediately and in the longer term.”

A key factor behind the partnership’s success over the last 18 months has been with the close working relationship between James and Aspen Fuel’s Roy Narbey, the pair working together to introduce councils, sports club and contractors to Aspen through joint demonstrations and trials. “Enabling customers to discover the benefits first-hand has been the key to encouraging people to make the switch. This collaborative approach has helped both companies to extend our reach, strengthen relationships and generate new business.”

“For clubs and contractors already investing in quality machinery, it just makes sense to pair that with a fuel that looks after both the equipment and the people using it.”

Virtually free from ethanol, aromatics and benzene, Aspen alkylate petrol is 99% cleaner than ordinary petrol in terms of the amount of hazardous hydrocarbons. Suitable for all types of modern 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines, Aspen offers better performance and a longer service life helping to maximise the return on your investment.

New Saralis Bio enters sports turf market with science-led biological solutions

New company brings 30 years of plant physiology expertise and research-led biological technologies to professional turf and amenity markets.

New Saralis Bio enters sports turf market with science-led biological solutions

Saralis Bio, a newly established biological technology company, has entered the sports turf and amenity market with a portfolio of research-led biological, biostimulant and nutrient technologies designed to support plant performance, resilience and more sustainable turf management.

The company brings more than 30 years of expertise in plant physiology and application to the sports turf sector, along with established knowledge and technologies to the challenges faced by professional turf managers.

Combining plant physiology, soil biology, genomics and data-driven agronomy, Saralis Bio has developed its approach around the increasing pressures facing professional turf management, from climate volatility and water availability to reduced pesticide options, rising costs and growing expectations around sustainability.

John Haywood at Saralis Bio said: “We have spent more than 30 years developing our understanding of plant physiology and application, and we’re now bringing that knowledge into sports turf, where the demands on plants are exceptionally high.

We combine decades of plant physiology expertise with a detailed understanding of biological technologies to identify what plants need, when they need it, and how best to deliver it. This enables us to develop practical, targeted solutions that deliver reliable results for turf managers and greenkeepers.”

The company’s technologies span biologicals, biostimulants and nutrition, with products available as seed treatments, foliar solutions, powders and granules. Its approach also enables complementary technologies to be ‘stacked’ to address specific agronomic challenges.

Saralis Bio has an extensive portfolio of products listed under the new EU regulatory framework for biostimulants, providing a strong foundation for its development programme and future expansion.

Six further products are commercially ready and will be available to join the existing range, while 19 active ingredients are currently being analysed and assessed for their potential across areas including rooting, water-use efficiency, salinity management, nutrient-use efficiency, thatch mitigation, stress management, soil health and plant health.

The company will officially launch its expanded sports turf portfolio at BTME in January, where it will unveil further products and technologies for the professional turf market.

John Haywood added “BTME will be an important milestone for us. It’s where we’ll formally introduce the wider Saralis Bio portfolio to the sports turf industry and demonstrate how our science-led approach can support the future of turf management.”
