Following an uncertain but busy year, The Slatter Group continues to expand, continually investing in our people and technology. We’ve been catching up with some of our newest recruits to welcome them to the team whilst getting an insight into their new roles and past experience.
Andy Cackett joined the team in late March, utilising his skills to support our design and estimating teams.
I have really enjoyed my first month here and the time has flown by. It feels like I’ve been at the company for years, which I believe is a true testament to the people and running of S&C Slatter.
Having finished secondary school, I decided to look for a job rather than continue with education. I started working with an electrical firm undertaking their design work, along with assisting the estimating teams. My role quickly progressed and I worked my way to Estimating Manager for the London branch.
For some of the following years, my focus was then on assisting with the AutoCAD Design work on the 2012 Olympics which was a real highlight of my time in this role. From here, I’ve since worked as an estimator for main contractors such as Kier & Francis Construction.
My new role is a split role, undertaking CAD requirements, along with estimating within the sales team.
The role requires a great level of accuracy and attention to detail. Luckily with Chris and Stephan joining also, this is covered.
Like so many other industries, design and planning, along with construction, has evolved with the requirements of peoples wants and needs. You can see these in technology, health and safety demand, and the qualifications and skills within the teams delivering them.
With construction on site slowing for a small period, the drive for the planning of future work seems to have positively picked back up once again.
Time, material availability and budgets. With more work being undertaken on local small-scale projects, and large (such as HS2), this means less availability of materials and increasing costs. Planning, therefore, is key.
Having found the open position, and learning about S&C Slatter, the attraction was to become part of a market-leading company that fitted my love for sport & lifestyle. It also gave me the opportunity to reintroduce my AutoCAD experience back into day-to-day life. Having now been here for a month, I just wish the opportunity would have come sooner.
I believe the key areas of delivering a successful project are honesty, precision planning and a deep understanding of the end goal/use and how best to achieve this.
Having visited a few great S&C Projects now, it seems word of mouth between colleges, clubs and ground teams are of great benefit, so I think seeking the guidance of colleagues and similar institutions is an important step in understanding the quality of contractor you’re considering.
With a new baby boy arriving just last week, and a daughter who is three, “downtime” is pretty busy and spent mainly playing in the garden and jumping on the trampoline. If I manage to escape, it’s normally for DIY, running, swimming or keeping fit in different ways. Standing still or stopping just isn’t my thing.
Thanks so much to Andy for taking the time to do this Q&A with us – especially during such a busy time! Welcome to the team and congratulations on your new arrival!
Our estimators are on hand to give you the best possible understanding of what’s possible on site, and at what projected cost.
Our designers will bring your project to life with conceptual and technical design, delivering on your objectives while utilising our vast experience to maximise value.

Following an uncertain but busy year, The Slatter Group continues to expand, continually investing in our people and technology. We’ve been catching up with some of our newest recruits to welcome them to the team whilst getting an insight into their new roles and past experience.
Chris Hutton joined our busy sales and estimating team in late March, bringing with him a varied background in the sports sector.
The first few weeks have been great, all the team have been very welcoming and happy to help with any questions. The first few weeks have been set to give myself and Andy (our other new estimator) a detailed induction and introduction to the company.
I started working as a Golf greenkeeper when I finished school at 16, working my way up to course manager while studying in Horticulture and mechanics. I decided to leave greenkeeping after 12 years in 2010 to work in contracts management. Five years ago I made the move from a contracts managing role to estimator.
My new role as estimator is within the sales team. My role requires me to price the works for our projects, which requires a good level of accuracy and attention to detail to ensure what we price is deliverable.
I am still relatively new to the sports construction industry, but I would say that the difficulties the industry is currently facing is the same as the broader construction industry. Covid has meant that budgets have become tighter and competition to win projects have become stronger.
Remote working is the biggest change and way we have needed to adapt. The team on the ground have had to ensure that new and changing Health & Safety processes are always up to date and successfully implemented.
Budgets. Covid has meant there is a little less money available to spend on projects. Many supplies items have also increased meaning that budgets do not go as far as they once did.
Finding ways to give the customer what they want for the right money. This means that many projects need to have a level of creative thinking and problem solving.
The attraction was the company being market-leading in the industry and a family run company. From my background in sports turf and my love for all things sport it is great to see so many sporting facilities being developed!
From what I have seen over the past few weeks, the advice and support that a company like S&C Slatter gives is second to none. It is a big investment, and the team are happy to give their advice and guide customers to make the best decisions for their project based on their needs.
I have three boys who are all very active – much of the weekend is spent watching them from the side-lines on football and rugby pitches! When I get some free time to myself it is spent on the golf course.
Thanks so much to Chris for taking the time to do this Q&A with us – welcome to the team!
Our estimators are on hand to give you the best possible understanding of what’s possible on site, and at what projected cost.

S&C Slatter are thrilled to share that Royal Holloway University’s sand-dressed hockey pitch has once again retained its FIH National Field Certification, seven years after construction, under the International Hockey Federation (FIH) Quality Programme.
The sand-dressed hockey pitch was delivered as part of a wider sports hub constructed by S&C Slatter for the university in 2014, featuring facilities for hockey, football, rugby, lacrosse, tennis, netball, cricket and more!
Royal Holloway’s hockey club boasts over 150 members and is the largest sports club on the university’s campus. With this in mind, the university required a pitch that would deliver high performance standards consistently without impacting its lifespan – all while withstanding the high levels of usage by the university’s six dedicated hockey teams.
The sand-dressed pitch was constructed to FIH National standard in 2014, certified for National, Regional and Club level hockey. Seven years after construction we’re thrilled (but unsurprised!) that the pitch, which is also maintained by our expert Maintenance Division, continues to deliver to the high performance standard it was built to.
The pitch was re-tested by an independent third party in March and successfully retains its FIH National Certification which will now remain in place until 2023.
As the world’s first FIH Certified Field Builder, S&C Slatter are proud supporters of the FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf and are well versed in designing and constructing hockey pitches to the high standards by the FIH, from Multi-sport to Global Certification. Working only with the best sports surface producers, our exclusive artificial turf partners FieldTurf are FIH Preferred Suppliers.
Alastair Cox, Facilities and Quality Programme Manager, International Hockey Federation (FIH), commented:
This pitch’s ability to retain FIH Certification over a prolonged period shows the benefits of selecting a high quality FIH approved hockey turf and appointing an FIH Certified Field Builder to construct the pitch. Quality always matters, that is why the FIH applaud best practice, as so clearly demonstrated at this site.”
The university’s hockey pitch was delivered as part of a major sports centre redevelopment on the university’s main campus in 2014, where S&C Slatter constructed:
It’s been a joy to see the impact of the facility at the university over the years and we’re delighted to continue our partnership, maintaining these first-class facilities to ensure students enjoy many more years of top performance!
S&C Slatter and FieldTurf have delivered more hockey pitches to FIH Global Certification in the UK than any other contractor.
We’re committed to providing first-class pitches for top performance, maximum use and longevity.

GrassMaster Solutions, hybrid turf production partner to our sister company White Horse Contractors, today unveiled the latest innovation in hybrid installation technology: the GrassMaster Gen-S.
The new machinery offers a faster, lighter, eco-friendly stitching method for the installation of GrassMaster Solutions’ market-leading hybrid grass systems.
With over 5million m2 of GrassMaster Solutions hybrid turf installed worldwide and utilised at the highest levels of elite sport, the Gen-S is the latest addition to the company’s installation fleet, the result of continued investment in people, technology and equipment.
The advanced technology of the new Gen-S delivers accurate and variable stitch spacing and depth. With the robust hydraulic stitching unit cutting down installation time, GrassMaster’s experienced installation teams can now deliver the world’s most proven hybrid technology, faster.
Benjamin Huneau, General Manager, GrassMaster Solutions, commented:
“We are excited about this latest addition which further extends our market-leading proposition within the hybrid grass sector. The Gen-S is electrically powered and allows our experienced installation teams to stitch a GrassMaster pitch more quickly.”
The new Gen-S machine is electrically powered which – combined with the shorter stitching time – reduces the energy consumed in the installation process. This power option will surely prove a bonus for carbon-conscious clients and demonstrates GrassMaster Solutions’ – and parent company Tarkett Sports – continued commitment to improving sustainability.
As well as delivering faster, eco-friendly, hybrid turf stitching, the new GrassMaster Gen-S is the company’s lightest machine yet, providing enhanced protection for the 100% natural grass turf utilised in the world’s leading hybrid turf pitches – each pitch reinforced with 20 million in-house produced high-performance monofilament fibres (HPF).
Benjamin added:
“The new light weight machine allows for lower down-pressures on the surface, thus reducing the machine’s impact when working on young grass.”
GrassMaster hybrid turf pitches are used for elite competition worldwide, featured in the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup, NFL and UEFA European Championships. With 75% of Premier League teams playing on GrassMaster hybrid pitches, the innovators of hybrid turf technology continue to lead from the front, with the new Gen-S technology providing clients with the confidence of 800+ proven installations, combined with improved stitching quality, fibre resilience and speed of installation.
Following the announcement of White Horse Contractors’ partnership with GrassMaster Solutions for hybrid turf construction, clients now have the opportunity to construct the most proven hybrid turf surface, all with the benefit of shorter, eco-friendly installation and enhanced natural grass protection.

S&C Slatter are thrilled to be on-site at Wimborne Town FC’s New Cuthbury ground, commencing works on a brand new 3G artificial turf training pitch.
In November 2020, Wimborne Town FC said a final farewell to their old Cuthbury ground – home to the club for more than 100 years – and embarked on a new chapter at a purpose-built facility, New Cuthbury, on nearby Parmiter Drive.
S&C Slatter are no strangers to the ambitious new development, partially funded through developer relocation. As the leading 3G Pitch supplier for non-league football, Wimborne Town FC recognised the significant benefits our extensive experience and in-house group offering would bring to the project.
Well-versed in football club relocation, our dedicated Design and Planning division supported the club in securing planning permission, with the club selecting our superior design specification, delivering the entire facility layout to The FA’s Sports Ground Grading C, suitable for the National League System.
Works on the 3G artificial turf training pitch commenced on Monday 22nd March and mark the final stage of the project, following the completion of the club’s new natural turf stadia pitch by our sister company White Horse Contractors. The facility also features a new clubhouse, car park and spectator areas.
Our construction teams are already familiar with the facility, with our in-house Surfacing and Civils teams having delivered ancillary footpath construction, fencing and floodlighting for the ground.
The new 3G Pitch will feature the latest upgraded XM7 artificial turf system from our exclusive partners FieldTurf (FIFA Preferred Turf Producers), chosen to meet the required FIFA performance standard*.
*Testing and certification will take place on completion of the pitch.
The training pitch will also feature new perimeter fencing and a spectator area, so the pitch can be utilised for match play when required. With 3G Pitches designed to handle 60-80 hours of play per week, the new pitch will enable all-weather on-site training for The Magpie’s 1st, Reserve and Junior teams, allowing the club to protect the condition and performance of the natural turf stadia pitch for optimum match play.
The 3G pitch will also play a key role in the growth of football in the community, with the club offering soccer schools, walking football, Wimborne Town FC’s Football Academy and dedicated development centre. The high usage capacity will also enable the club to hire out the pitch for external use, generating additional revenue to reinvest in the club’s future.
We’re thrilled to be back on-site at the New Cuthbury to deliver the final stage of Wimborne Town FC’s relocation works, marking a distinct move into the future for the 143-year-old club.

The Football Foundation have launched three new ‘Game On’ funds, committing over £16m of funding to help grassroots football to prepare for the return of sport.
The three Game On funds: Return to Football, Grass Pitch Maintenance and Small Grants are geared towards the varying needs of clubs who will need help prior to lockdown restrictions easing on 29th March, when outdoor team sport is set to resume in England.
The three Game On funds are targeted at grassroots football clubs across the country, each with a different purpose, such as supporting football in areas of need, grass pitch maintenance and funding for new sports equipment.
In total, over £16m is on offer for eligible groups across the three funds:
The Football Foundation is strongly encouraging community groups to apply for the funds, to help ensure a strong return to the sport on March 29th. Find out more about each fund below.
If you’re looking to secure funding for a non-football related or larger scale project, such as a new facility or facility refurbishment, please refer to our funding and finance page.
The Return to Football fund is targeting the clubs and organisations who are most in need, to help them either restart existing grassroots football programmes or deliver new ones.
Depending your organisation type, you can apply for grants of between £500 – £2,500.
The grant must be spent on either restarting football activity, or delivering new football activity that was cancelled due to the pandemic.
This includes funding things like: sports equipment, safety and sanitation, staffing and training costs, marketing costs – any reasonable cost directly involved with restarting or delivering new football activity.
You can find a full breakdown of what you can/can’t use the grant on here.

Pitches with a PQS of ‘basic’ or below can receive up to £2,500 in the first year (for a full sized pitch).
Pitches with a PQS of ‘good’ or higher can receive up to £750 in the first year (for a full sized pitch).
Grant payment are made annually for 6 years, though are tapered, so your annual amount received will decrease over time. For full-sized pitches with a PQS of ‘basic’ or below, you could receive up to £10,000 funding over 6 years.
What you spend your grant on will be informed by your PitchPower Assessment Report.
This could include: contractor works, purchasing materials or purchasing equipment.
You cannot spend the grant on routine maintenance work.
You can find a full breakdown of what you can/can’t use the grant on here.

S&C Slatter, in exclusive partnership with FieldTurf, are delighted to deliver our first 3G Pitch under the new Football Foundation AGP Framework 2020-2024.
The project was delivered for Racing Club Warwick Football Club and was officially handed over on Wednesday 10th February 2021.
Following our re-selection to the Football Foundation AGP Framework 2020-2024, S&C Slatter and FieldTurf are thrilled to hand over our first completed project of the new funding cycle.
The new sports facility, delivered for Racing Club Warwick, includes a brand new, full-sized 3G pitch for football complete with fencing, footpaths and spectator seating. The pitch features artificial turf from our exclusive partners FieldTurf, FIFA Preferred Turf Producers.
Racing Club Warwick are a football club based in Warwickshire, currently playing in the Midland League Premier Division (Step 5 of the National League System). Following promotion in their 2018-19 season, the club made plans to construct a new 3G Pitch, not only to further the growth of the club but to serve the wider community as a whole.
At the time of the announcement, Club Chairman Gary Vella commented:
“The pitch will be a real community facility, linking in with other Junior clubs and partners from within the local area to provide a facility that is accessible for all. The new pitch will give us a top-quality playing surface for our first team, every day of the week, and allows Racing’s teams to host all of our training and games, expand the academy and offer facilities to other Junior sides in the area. It is an exciting and huge project, which is just the next phase of our plans to develop Townsend Meadow into a true community hub”.
Racing Club Warwick are the first of our clients under the new cycle to benefit from Football Foundation funding to realise their project.
As existing suppliers to the 2015-2019 Football Foundation AGP Framework, S&C Slatter and FieldTurf have proudly delivered transformational new facilities for schools, councils and community clubs alike.
With a further 9 projects underway for the new Football Foundation AGP Framework this year, we’re thrilled to have delivered our first under the new programme and look forward to continuing to deliver first-class sporting facilities that serve communities across the country.
We wish The Racers all the very best with their new pitch and are sure those in the local community will be racing to the new facility when coronavirus restrictions ease!

We were thrilled to see the results of our specialist winter deep clean at two independent schools recently. The pitches, constructed by S&C Slatter, are looked after by our maintenance specialists – and still look as good as new!
In December 2020, our dedicated maintenance division visited two independent schools to carry out artificial turf deep cleans. The pitches – one sand dressed hockey pitch and one 3G pitch for rugby and football – were constructed by S&C Slatter in 2015 and 2012 respectively.
We visited the schools on day one of the deep clean process, returning on the third day, once work was complete, to capture before and after images. Common problems were identified on both pitches, with compaction occurring on the 3G Pitch, where the infill was no longer visible under flattened pile.
The hockey pitch had contamination visible on the surface, with visible moss growth, commonplace on pitches during winter months.
Following the deep clean process, the pitches were free from contaminants and debris, with the artificial turf pile and infill materials completely revived.
In truth, a deep clean can be – and often is – carried out at any time of the year. A deep clean is designed to revitalise an artificial turf surface, maximising performance, safety and longevity.
The reason they are sometimes known as a ‘winter deep clean’ is because even with regular maintenance, pitches face greater risk of damage during the winter months. Deep cleans are designed to fully penetrate the artificial turf, lifting and cleaning the infill, while reviving the pile.
The four-stage process can take between 1-3 days, depending on the size and condition of your pitch. Find out more about the process on our dedicated Deep Clean page.
Ideally, deep cleans should be carried out annually or biannually in addition to standard regular maintenance.
Following heavy usage throughout the year – and poor weather – artificial turf can become compacted. This, combined with debris such as fallen leaves collecting on the surface, can cause issues with drainage and the growth of moss and algae.
If not addressed, this can lead to a slippery surface, badly affecting the grip, performance and ultimately safety of a pitch.
It’s great to see the results of our specialist deep clean on these pitches – helping to extend their lifespan and provide optimum safety and performance.
If your artificial pitch could benefit from a deep clean, get in touch with our maintenance experts to arrange a free site consultation.
