Armed with more than 27 years of hands-on experience in the technical aspects of turf care, Tom Stidder’s journey began as a workshop technician for a Jacobsen dealer in West Sussex and led to key roles at two leading turf machinery manufacturers. These roles included extensive involvement in technical training and consulting across various countries, at all levels.

Tom is now in his eighth year as an independent turf machinery trainer/advisor and is fortunate to work for clients such as the English FA, the AELTC, the GMA, the R&A, BIGGA, and many golf clubs worldwide.  He also worked in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup build up and has worked with many football clubs in the UK.
