I have had the pleasure of working with Billy for over 25 years which, in turn, has led to a friendship of nearly as long.

I was first introduced to Billy when I was working for a sport-turf supply and construction company; he quickly became my go-to person for advice on what seed mixtures to use, or pricing a custom blend that had been specified. His knowledge of not only his own company’s varieties but also every other seed supplier’s varieties was invaluable in winning tenders and advising clients.

During my time as sales person dealing with sport-turf seeds and general-amenity seeds, I began working with the Scottish ski centers and their consultants. As several of the sites had Triple SI status, seed selection was crucial. And, with minimal budgets for ground repair, price was always the main factor. Over the years, Billy consistently found the balance between quality and price allowing me to provide the very best product and service to my clients.

When I started my own business over 20 years ago, it was a natural progression for me to continue using Billy as my supplier for all seed mixtures. With his expertise and tremendous value, I credit Billy with being a contributor my company’s early exponential growth from providing minor sports-turf maintenance to facilitating major landscaping projects. And, over the next 10-12 years, he continually delivered a quality product and great service.

About eight years ago, my company grew to a full-service commercial facilities maintenance business which required a change in direction toward more civils and maintenance type works. Whilst this growth was very welcome, it meant we weren’t buying as much seed – only two or three bags per year – and I lost touch with Billy during this time.

Over the past year or so, we have branched out again to take on more horticultural works which brings us full circle back to some of our core business. In this arena, our new client base has a greater need for grass seed and wild flora seed. As soon as these conversations began, the first person I thought of was Billy.

With the help of LinkedIn, I made contact, arranged a coffee and it was straight back to where we left off. Since then Billy has, again, become my go-to person for advice, knowledge, and quality product.

With his decades of experience and expertise as well as his commitment to remaining current with all the new varieties of seeds, I can’t think of another merchant that has his ability to deliver sound advice of such a high calibre.

I gladly put Billy in front of my clients with no fear. His Integrity, knowledge, helpfulness, and friendly nature are the hallmarks of a true professional.
