Dennis and SISIS are renowned for their innovative, high quality British-built turfcare machinery and at BTME 2012 will present a range of products ideal for golf and other fine turf applications on stand A4. Course managers looking to impress greens committees with a high quality purchase will find their needs ideally met by the FT510, featuring Dennis’s industry-leading cassette system.
The Massey Ferguson Sports and Social Club in Coventry, close to where the iconic tractors were once produced, is a reminder of Britain’s great manufacturing heritage.

Following their Cricket seminar at Uxbridge Cricket Club earlier this year, Dennis and SISIS are once again offering cricket groundsmen the opportunity to attend this successful seminar. The venue this time is Essex County Cricket Club in Chelmsford and the date is Tuesday 22nd November 2011, commencing at 9.00am.
Dennis and SISIS will showcase a range of innovative, professional, British manufactured groundcare products at the 40th anniversary Scotsturf exhibition (stands A3 & A10). Developed using feedback from customers who are at the cutting edge of the industry, from premiership football clubs and leading golf clubs to local authorities and contractors, Dennis and SISIS products continue to lead the way.
A synthetic playing surface often gets more use than a natural one. It is therefore imperative that Groundsmen should have a regular brushing programme, suitable for the area and usage. A programme of light brush between play, and now and again a more intense brushing to stand the pile or fibre up, is recommended.
Managing Director Ian Howard explains “Since January an enormous amount of hard work has been undertaken by all employed within the two divisions to ensure a successful and smooth integration of the brands. Saltex provides us with the ideal opportunity to exhibit and demonstrate a comprehensive range of British manufactured products”.
