After many reports, conversations with interested parties and observations on the renovation and construction of cricket wickets over the years, we have become concerned that our company name, Surrey Loams Ltd, has become synonymous with both top dressings and construction materials being marketed as “Surrey Loam”.
From 1979 our loams followed the precepts of Prof. W. A. Adams of the Soil Science Unit at the Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and after his retirement those of his colleague Dr Russell Young MBE JP CSci of Soil Science Wales Ltd. Our Graded Organic Sports Turf Dressings — marketed and distributed under the company’s GOSTD trade name and trade mark since 1981 — were built on that work, and we are confident they meet today’s exacting requirements.
Indeed it is well documented, and those who have used our GOSTD brand products over the years since they were introduced are today still producing consistently good wickets, tennis courts and playing surfaces.
Our soils, loams and sands are drawn from many counties over a wide area of central southern England in order that we may process our GOSTD brand loams.
To this end we would like to point out the following:
Supplies of any material not meeting the criteria in items 2 and 3 above DO NOT originate from our Company, Surrey Loams Ltd.
