our team

Co-founder of the company, Ben is the driving force behind Complete Turf Care Ltd.

In his formative years, Ben, a keen young footballer, was often to be found assisting his dad, Brian, at the Goldstone Ground, Brighton and Hove Albion FC’s spiritual home, where Brian was the Stadium Manager.

Ben’s subsequent career involved spells with two sportsturf contracting companies, Sportsturf Ltd and SJK, Worthing Golf Club and Crawley Town Football Club.

At Sportsturf Ltd Ben was involved with a number of Football League Clubs including Watford and Oxford United and other venues such as Worth School with its extensive sports facilities.

At SJK Ben was closely involved at Sussex County Croquet Club and Crawley Town Football Club together with a number of other contracts in the South East.

Ben also spent some years at Worthing Golf Club where he gained his qualifications in Sportsturf and nine months in New Zealand working at Remaura Golf Club in Auckland.

Ben was Head Groundsman at Crawley Town Football Club when they were promoted to the Football League from the Conference in 2011.

During all this time Ben was always happy to assist and advise local County League Football Clubs in any way he could to ensure they had the opportunity to employ the funds they had effectively.

Eventually, late in 2016, Ben believed it was time to strike out on his own and build a sportsturf contracting company in his own image, and in April 2017 this ambition was initially realised with the formation of Complete Turf Care Ltd.

Dan has twelve years experience in the Sportsturf Industry since his early introduction as an apprentice at Sussex County Cricket Club.

Prior to joining Complete Turf Care Ltd., Dan worked for Sussex County Cricket Club, West Sussex Golf Club, then ranked in the top 100 golf courses in the UK, and Brighton and Hove Albion FC where Dan was based at their “state of the art” new training ground.

The experience he gained at these elite facilities coupled with Dan’s formal qualifications make him a highly valued member of the team at CTC. Dan joined CTC to apply the skills and knowledge he has across multiple sports and help build a progressive contracting company.

Dan currently has general responsibility for Sussex County Croquet Club and the Bowls Clubs within the CTC portfolio of contracts but he also has valuable input across all our sites.

Dan has been, since an early age, and still is, a keen amateur footballer in the local area playing at county level and is a very competent and avid golfer.

Tom started out with Focus on Football building a relationship and skills within the football industry which included working at Fulham Football Club’s Training Ground.

Tom is fully qualified and whilst he is now predominantly responsible for the day to day operations at Crawley Town Football Club he, like all the team, assists across all our sites when required.
