2025 Turf Dealers Meeting

Delegates from all across Europe join us for our FIRST Turf Dealers Meeting.

COMPO EXPERT welcomed over 50 delegates to the UK for the very first ‘Turf Dealers Event’. The week was packed with educational seminars from guest speakers and experts from the COMPO EXPERT team.

The event was created to bring all the dealers from across the UK and Europe together and for us COMPO EXPERT to showcase our brand and business structure aiming to support all dealers better than ever before.

All guests stayed at the luxurious abode hotel, Chester overlooking the famous Chester Racecourse built within the historical romans walls of Chester. Evening entertainment at the Chester Grosvenor Hotel, Abode Hotel Restaurant and Hickory's by the river provided some fun, laughter and no doubt engaging business conversations.

The event was held across two venues. The first venue starting on the Wednesday was at the British Open Qualifier venue, Caldy GC set in the stunning cliff tops of the Wirral over looking the estuary.

Seminars kick started off with COMPO EXPERT UK MD Gerald Bonner opening the event, giving the guests an understanding of why this event was being held and reiterating the importance of the turf market as whole and to our dealers. Presentations from both Matthew Williams and Karl Parry were next up discussing the new dedicated Fine & Sport Brochure, website and approach to marketing COMPO EXPERT products in our sports turf industry.
