The GroundsFest Academy has confirmed specialist sports turf lighting firm TLS as its newest Platinum Sponsor, adding further industry strength to the Academy’s range of sponsors and partners as it continues to expand its training offering for the groundscare sector.
The sponsorship comes at a pivotal time for the Academy, as demand for structured, industry-relevant training continues to grow among those entering and progressing within groundscare and turf management careers.
TLS x Rhenac support will help the Academy deliver quality education and support to natural and hybrid sports turf facilities in the maintenance of high-quality playing surfaces in challenging environments, including stadiums with limited daylight, shaded areas, retractable roofs and intensive event schedules.
Bradley Tennant, Director of Education at The GroundsFest Academy said: “TLS x Rhenac’s decision to back the Academy speaks to the strength of what we’re building here. Their support will help us keep raising the bar for what training in this industry looks like.”
Mark Sinnett, General Manager of TLS, added: “A pitch is a living system. It changes with the weather, the season and how it is used, so technology alone is not the answer. You also need agronomic knowledge and practical experience to understand what is happening and respond in the right way. That has always been our approach at TLS x Rhenac, and it is why the GroundsFest Academy felt like such a natural fit.”
With TLS now on board, GroundsFest Academy’s Sponsor and Partner network continues to grow, underlining the level of industry confidence in the Academy’s approach to developing the next generation of groundscare talent.
