Wellington School Groundsman wins Coveted Award

13 Nov 2018

Congratulations to Wellington School groundsman Simon Cook, who has won a prestigious National Award. Simon, who has worked at the School for 3 years has won the SALTEX College Cup.

In an “Apprentice” style challenge held at the imposing NEC in Birmingham, Simon and his team were given a case study, which they had to review and present to a panel of experts.

Simon beat off all competition to win the coveted title, which also comes with £500 cheque and a trip to Wimbledon to help in the preparation of Wimbledon 2019.

In addition to making Wellington School grounds immaculate, Simon is also studying Sports Turf Management at Bridgewater and Taunton College.

Well done all Simon, a very well-deserved result!
