STRI Group take root in Scotland

STRI Group has opened a new Scottish office, in the heart of Glasgow,
to help deliver a diverse range of sportsturf solutions to new and
existing clients.

The new premises, in West George Street, will be a base for STRI’s
Scottish agronomy team, who work closely with The R&A, and an arm of
its Yorkshire-based sports service design department, which manages
projects on pitches and stadiums across the world.

As well as existing members of Scottish staff, the Glasgow office will
be home to new STRI appointments Neil Rodger, who joins as design
consultant, and agronomist Richard Wing, who starts in his new role in
early March.

Over the past five years, STRI has bolstered its position as a market
leader in the sports surface industry. Recently joining forces with
Auburn University in the USA, as well as setting up a joint venture in
China. This is in addition to recent significant investments made at
its facilities in the United Kingdom, Australia and Qatar.

Richard Windows, STRI agronomy manager, said: “A base in the centre of
Glasgow is an exciting development for STRI and will allow closer
links with our Scottish clients.  The new office will allow for the
agronomy and design consultants to work more closely as a team and
utilise each other’s individual skills to deliver a better and more
collective service for our clients across Scotland.”
