SALTEX and its organisers, the Grounds Management Association (GMA), have a 77-year history of the event, making it the largest trade show for the sector in Europe. SALTEX is the exhibition of choice for these leading sporting bodies and National Governing Bodies (NGB) when it comes to meeting those who work in the grounds care industry.

This has been proven by their annual participation over two days on the show floor, sharing insights learned from their work, providing free technical advice on maintaining playing surfaces and providing guidance on accessing funding.

Following its launch at Lord’s Cricket Ground earlier this year, representatives from the NGBs will be on hand to speak with visitors about the GMA’s Grounds Management Framework. The NGBs, along with members of the Pitch Advisory Service, will be available at the GMA Hub to offer support to ground staff in learning how they can use the framework to upskill and improve their playing surface.

Jason Booth, chief operating officer, GMA, said: “Our relationship and the work we do with these five leading NGBs is critical to the future of sport. Whether professional or grassroots, sport is simply not possible without grounds staff and groundscare businesses – our industry as a whole.

“SALTEX is a date in all our diaries where we can come together, meet like minded colleagues from the sector, and network with grounds staff from all sports and at all levels, from the grassroots to representatives from UEFA. There really is no better place than SALTEX for grounds staff and those working in the industry to get the latest updates on funding, as well the opportunity to meet and talk to the representatives from the NGBs about our challenges as well as paths to success.”
