... and Dan’s your man


Hi Pitchcare members. I’m Dan Hughes, the new kid on the office block and am currently adapting well to all the privileges this role has e.g. tea making, answering the phone and getting the seat next to Laurence in the office. Anyway, I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself and explain the differences I hope to be making to the service Pitchcare offers to you. I am delighted to be


working in a sports related role and am currently finding out that there is a lot more to turf care and pitch maintenance than meets the eye. After recently completing a Public Relations & Management degree at the University of Central Lancashire, I have joined the Pitchcare team as Marketing Coordinator. I am focussing firstly on getting up at 7 o’clock weekdays and secondly, and more importantly. developing the Pitchcare online shop. Fundamental to my role will be increasing the product range that the shop will offer in 2006. We will be able to provide you, our members, a wider range of products at the best prices the industry can provide. Pitchcare only lists products from top quality manufacturers and suppliers to ensure customers receive the best service and tools. Over the next three months look out for these new products that will be available through the shop: Chelwood rakes, Osprey Irrigation, Bulldog Tools, Bunce Machinery plus a range of specialist books. Before I joined Pitchcare I had a dabble at dealing in Bulgarian property and worked in a number of roles that include a Eurocamp courier, Football Referee and Hotel Porter. Whilst a student, I also managed to afford a few more beers than the standard loan allows by wheeling and dealing in antiques (following in my fathers footsteps). I am a keen traveller


and have spent time in the


jungles of Borneo with the Orang-Utans (but am no closer to understanding Pitchcare’s web monkey), climbed Mt Kinabulu, the highest mountain in South East Asia, visited Australia, Thailand and Brunei and have continent trotted extensively through Europe. I would like to do another round the world trip again but am awaiting Dave’s approval and his offer of holiday pay! I have always been an enthusiastic sportsman and have keenly followed Wolverhampton Wanderers through the (very rare) good times and the bad. Laurence has recently used his persuasive genius to coax me into playing rugby for Shrewsbury, I also play squash and have been known to do a bit of amateur boxing. During the summer I like to get on the Greek beaches with my metal detector and find the odd rusty Euro (or two) but since I’ve started at Pitchcare Dave has promised to get me permission to dig up a few Premiership centre circles - I’m sure there’ll be some coins that have gone missing from the toss and the odd diamond earring lost elsewhere too: BEWARE ALL!!!!!!!! Finally, on a serious


note, I would welcome any suggestions or comments from members regarding the shop, and would also like to hear of any relevant products you would like to see in the Pitchcare shop and, of course, from manufacturers and suppliers who would like their products included.
