Hi, my name is Katie. I thought I’d take this opportunity to show you the person behind the telephone voice 😊
I’ve been selling turf since 2007 when I was asked to join the family business, originally started by my dad, Mike, back in 1967. Not long after joining, I was swiftly shipped off to evening college to learn the books, before going on to complete a Business Management degree — graduating with First Class Honours in 2013.
That journey prepared me to take over running the business after sadly losing Mike 10 years ago today (20.05.16), followed by my mum, Jane, in August 2023.
Fortunately, I inherited Mike’s passion for the business, and today I’m proud to be taking it back to its roots — supplying quality turf, topsoil and also artificial grass to customers across the local area.
Whilst we no longer have the yard in Mytchett for collections, you can still receive the same quality service and materials — they just get delivered directly to you instead!
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the gym, on a cricket pitch — I’ve played for over 30 years — out and about with my husband or re-living my youth with friends.
I’m also mum to three grown-up sons working in demolition, cyber security and landscaping (the landscaper definitely has his eyes on the business one day… watch this space! 👀).
This business has always been about hard work, loyalty, and the relationships built with customers over generations.
To everyone who has supported us over the years — whether recently or for decades — thank you. Supporting a local business truly means more than you know 🤍
This is me and my 3 boys, aka my security team 😉
