RD Groundcare was launched in 2009 by me, Rob Dale!
Following many years spent coaching sport, I wanted a new challenging career so started as a groundsman at a top independent school in Surrey. The quality of the sports pitches and the aesthetics of the surroundings greatly add to the quality of life at any school, so groundsmen play a vital role. I gained a huge amount of experience, had relevant training, passed many qualifications and was fortunate to find a career I love! This started to make me think…
With my contacts throughout the sporting world I had a number of approaches from clubs about working for them on their grounds. This resulted in RD Groundcare being born and started working with our first few clients. Through word of mouth these few clients grew and grew in an organic way. This natural process, always adding new partnerships and retaining our current commitments, has built to our client base on just word of mouth from happy clients. Of course, each sports ground has away teams playing on it each weekend and I have found people notice, and people talk!
I now run the business in a very hands’ on way. I have invested in top of the range and specialist machinery, a great team and team training. I am immensely proud of RD Groundcare, the values we uphold, our reliability and our conduct.
