A Bursars Golf Day took place last week at the East Sussex National Gold Club. Organised and presented by S&C Slatter, some twenty-five Bursars from the independent schools sector played the challenging West Course, in an event which was scheduled to coincide with the ISBA Annual Conference in Brighton of which S&C Slatter was a sponsor.
As a prelude to the golf, Roedean School very kindly invited everyone to take breakfast at the school, including the opportunity to see their outstanding new range of external sports facilities – constructed by S&C Slatter.
The picturesque setting of ESNC was enhanced by warm, sunny weather and supported by the excellent facilities provided by one of the South’s premier leisure venues. This was all very much appreciated by the guests.
‘It was such an enjoyable occasion and very well organised, meaning the tone of the day was spot on and I hope this will be an annual event.’ Richard Poffley, Roedean School.
‘I was great fun. I know the amount of effort that goes into arranging such an event and it really is much appreciated.’ Paddy Jackman, Ardingly College.
After play, dinner was taken in the Club’s Hunningtons Restaurant and everyone took the opportunity to relax and take in the fabulous views of the Sussex countryside. This was also the occasion to present the competition prizes.
S&C Slatter is grateful to Richard Poffley, Roedean School, and Mark Suddaby, Millfield School, for their invaluable assistance in preparing the day, and Chris Marriott for co-ordinating team selection, tee timings, scoring and lots more.
What links Sutton United, Harrogate Town AFC, Slough Town FC and Haringey Borough FC?
Answer. All have reached the promotion play-offs in their respective leagues AND all play their home games on FieldTurf 3G football turf pitches built by sports construction specialists S&C Slatter.
It’s no coincidence they chose the S&C Slatter/FieldTurf partnership to deliver their football turf systems. All wanted a facility which delivered the highest play performance quality for league football at the same time as providing a valuable resource for the wider community.
Combining the surfacing development & manufacturing excellence of FieldTurf, the World’s leading manufacturer of artificial sports turf, with the design, construction and project management skills of S&C Slatter has proven to be a winning team.
The results speak for themselves.
So, it’s best of luck to Sutton United who are contesting the National League Play Off Semi-Final, to Harrogate Town AFC in the National League North Play Off Semi-Final, to Slough Town FC in the Evo-Stik Premier Play Off Final and to Haringey Borough FC in the Bostik North Division Play Off Final.

Adrian Flemming, a specialist in Health & Safety and Quality Compliance has joined the S&C Slatter team as Health & Safety Manager as the company continues to build and extend its in-house expertise and resources.
Health and safety is a concern across all UK industries, but it’s of particular importance within the construction industry.
Whatever the aspect of construction – demolition, building, refurbishment, roadworks – construction sites can present risks beyond most other industry workplaces. Whilst no workplace has zero risk, there is an obvious and major difference between the risks presented at a construction worker’s place of work, in comparison with, for instance, a finance or retail worker’s workplace.
This is why S&C Slatter takes its Health & Safety responsibilities to its staff, clients and the general public very seriously and has certificated accreditations with EXOR Gold, Safecontractor and CHAS. This commitment and the company’s policy of pursuing a path of continual improvement has directly led to this key appointment.
Adrian is a highly qualified Health & Safety professional with specific senior management experience within the construction sector and armed forces. He is a Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH), Specialist Member of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (SIIRSM) and Associate Member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (AIEMA).
In addition to spending a good deal of time on S&C Slatter’s active construction sites throughout the country monitoring and ensuring H&S compliance, Adrian will be working with the in-house Pre-Construction team in preparing client submissions and pre-works risk assessments, method statements and constructions phase plans.
On wider quality-related strategy, implementation of our quality and environmental management systems ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 also comes under Adrian’s remit as QEMS Manager This again is an area within which he has a good deal of practical experience being a qualified Lead Auditor for both standards and ISO 18001.
S&C Slatter is a certified member of various PQQ and Compliance organisations including Constructionline Gold and Builder’s Profile and is the Independent Schools Association (ISA) Gold Preferred Supplier – Sports Construction including Artificial Sports Pitches.
If you’re planning to build, refurbish or upgrade a sports or leisure facility, S&C Slatter as the Country’s leading single solution provider of inclusive construction services has to be the go-to choice.
However, did you know that S&C Slatter actually comprises of five specialist product service hubs, each created to deliver a specific set of in-house skills and resources?
With each hub being an acknowledged expert in its particular project specialism, you just know you’re getting the very best advice, skills and technology available.
And it’s supported by the extended S&C Slatter delivery team which is recognised, accredited and certified by a number of governing and advisory bodies. These embrace quality management systems (QMS), environmental management systems (EMS), procurement, supply chain management, risk management as well as sports and construction-specific performance standards.
This group structure offers our clients unparalled flexibility in selecting exactly the right range of services and expertise needed. If you just want our Design & Planning assistance; fine that’s the team you’ll work with. The same goes for Surfacing & Civils or any of the other service hubs. And if you need input from more than one team, just leave it to us to put together exactly the right package of services under the control of an S&C Slatter Project Manager designated explicitly for your project.
As well as being a very targeted approach to resource procurement it’s highly cost-efficient too.
