Football is one of the most popular sports in Indonesia with large participation professionally and recreationally, and FIFA has recognised the love of football in the country with the award of the Men’s Under-20 World Cup which is currently due to be played throughout May and June 2021.

Away from football, the country has just under 150 golf courses, with renowned golf course architects such as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones Jr, and Gary Player designing courses in the region.

Campey Turf Care export sales manager, Nick Brown, has worked closely with AESCo.SEA and is looking forward to working with the company across the 18,000 islands that make up Indonesia.

“We are looking forward to developing our relationship with Adam and the team at AESCo.SEA and providing the turf professionals of Indonesia with Campey products,” Nick begins. “Sport is a massive part of Indonesian culture, as it is here in the United Kingdom, and the infrastructure to provide it is improving all the time, and that is where we want to be involved.

“For us, and all of our dealers, that involvement is more than just selling machines. The aftercare service and consultations before purchasing are essential to us because we want to contribute to the education of the customers we work with, and that applies at all levels.”

Adam Lenfield of AESCo.SEA added: “Having been a customer and worked on the sales side with Campey in the past, we are thrilled to be nominated as the Indonesian Distributor and look forward to spreading the benefits of all that Campey, and its associated partners, can provide.

“Indonesia is a great market with huge potential for growth given the right tools and advice, which we are able to supply with the backing and support afforded by the team at Campey.”

Campey keep EU imports on-time

/in , /by

Campey keep EU imports on-time: Despite the widely reported disruption at ports due to Brexit, Campey Turf Care Systems has maintained their EU import times.

As recently as 26th January machines were collected from Imants in The Netherlands one day and delivered to Campey headquarters the next. This has primarily been due to the work behind the scenes at Campey, with a significant emphasis on maintaining delivery times as part of the high level of customer service expected from the company and customers.

Suffering no disruption to date has been down to preparing for the changes as well as keeping on top of COVID-19 protocols, as Campey Director, Lee Morgado, explains.

“We knew with Brexit there would be rule changes and that could have an impact on imports at customs, so we’ve put a lot of work into making sure there are no delays.

“Obviously the circumstances away from Brexit with the pandemic have put a greater strain on the GB-EU border, but that is where we’ve really seen the preparation pay off because we haven’t suffered any unnecessary delays and have been able to stick to our delivery schedules.

“A majority of it has been paperwork based and being proactive as situations change. Doing this means we are now in a place where our customers don’t see a difference. For them, when they order an Imants machine or Air2G2, they still get it when they expect to, which was always our main priority.”

Campey has worked hard throughout the pandemic to ensure that customers at all levels of sport can continue maintaining their turf, whether this is through new Coronavirus protocols or guaranteed delivery times.

Customers who have any queries regarding imports or delivery times are encouraged to contact Campey directly by phone, email or using the contact form an www.campeyturfcare.com.

Campey announce passing of David Briggs: It is with deepest regret that we announce the passing, just before Christmas, of David Briggs, who had been suffering with Parkinson’s’ disease. 

David joined Campey Turf Care Systems in 2000 and retired in 2017. He was a successful product specialist for Southern England. He made a subtle but significant impact on industry methods of creating dealership networks and direct customer contact, both in the UK and abroad. David was instrumental in establishing a highly effective dealer network for Campey machinery, in Southern Europe. He was always a popular and much respected member of the team. David was also highly regarded and well respected amongst his colleagues and customers alike.

Campey announce partnership with Staffordshire FA

/in , , /by

Campey announce partnership with Staffordshire FA: Campey Turf Care Systems and the Staffordshire Football Association have announced a formal partnership with the aim of improving the quality of grassroots pitches in the county.

Over the years as individual entities, both Campey and Staffordshire FA have championed the importance of quality pitches in grassroots football with a focus on increased participation in the game. Nationally, the Football Association aims to improve 20,000 grass pitches across England in the next decade, and whilst at the early stages of that journey, Staffordshire FA Partnerships and Communications Officer, Gareth Thomas, is confident the county can play their part with the help of Campey.

“Since 2012 we’ve been working on various initiatives to raise the standards of grassroots football pitches in our county, and at the beginning of that process our local pitch advisor, Stoke City FC Grounds Manager, Andy Jackson, recommended Campey. We were also aware of Campey from the branding on many of the machines we saw during those early visits, along with the positive feedback we received from clubs,” Gareth explains.

“We’ve had an informal relationship with Campey going back eight years, and we wanted to formalise that to continue to help more clubs across Staffordshire. With the support of Campey, we can keep developing our programme to make as big an impact as possible.”

“One of the reasons our clubs provide positive feedback on Campey is the training that they receive when they invest in machinery, along with the ongoing aftercare. If a new club volunteer comes on board, someone from Campey is at the end of a telephone to talk them through it and if required visit the site.”

“We’ve seen the benefit of that service already at local grassroots football facility sites such as Trubshaw Cross who took on a ten-pitch site from their local council in 2015 and have transformed the pitches with the help of advice and guidance from Campey.”

“They are just one example; we’ve got some excellent case studies across Staffordshire where our programme has been really beneficial to grassroots football. Having worked at the County FA for several years now, I think our grass pitch improvement programme has been one of our most positive and impactful programmes.”

Despite the difficult situation facing grassroots football clubs since Covid-19 disrupted the sport in March 2020, many clubs have used it as an opportunity to improve their pitches via the programme and funding support from the Football Foundation.

Ensuring that clubs invest in the right machinery that will be a real asset to them is a key part of the programme and one that Campey – who have run numerous grassroots education days across England over the last ten years – are pleased to help with.

“These grants provide a real opportunity unlike anything they’ve ever had before for grassroots club to acquire machinery and improve their pitches and receive first rate training,” Campey Director, John Campey, explains.

“We’ve worked with grassroots football clubs for a long time, so it’s nice to be recognised and have the affiliation with Staffordshire FA. It puts us in a good position to help the groundsmen and get the machines out there and have people looking at the kit that will do the best for them.”

“I think it’s important to use the right machinery and for them to see it in action and get involved with it that way. With grant support, clubs can access current machinery that’s easier to use and that encourages volunteers and ultimately improves their pitches.”

This partnership will see Campey support grassroots clubs on-site with training and machinery advice as well as contributions to the Staffordshire FA communication channels which will contain ongoing pitch maintenance advice throughout the season.

In the future, Campey aims to develop partnerships with more county football associations to strengthen their support of grassroots clubs in England.

Campey begin reintroduction to work plan

/in , /by

Campey begin reintroduction to work plan: Campey Turf Care Systems is putting plans in place to safely reintroduce the team over the next few weeks that will still strictly adhere to government social distancing guidelines.

As an industry that contains essential workers, meeting the needs of customers has been vital. At Campey this has been carried out with the safety of staff, customers and any potential people they may come into contact with as a priority and is the primary consideration of the reintroduction plan.

Like many other companies, Campey has been operating with a skeleton staff at the main office to provide customers with key parts and tines and has stopped all demos because transporting machines to various sites cannot be classed as essential travel. During this time the understanding from customers that orders may be slightly delayed has been fantastic as has the understanding that demos aren’t necessary at this time, with any future demos requested set to be fulfilled when it is safe to do so.

Where customers have deemed it essential, machinery has been available for collection at the main office using a well thought out routine that eliminates the need for personal contact. Using this as a basis, Campey is confident that as the government guidelines are changed, they will be ready without delay.
