EcoBunker adds new business development manager

EcoBunker appointed Hamish Crichton as its new business development manager. Crichton joined EcoBunker at the start of May, from soil surfactant and wetting agent provider Aquatrols.

“I come from a corporate background, but a few years ago I decided I wanted to follow my passion, and work in the golf business,” said Crichton. “Although I don’t have a background in golf, while at Aquatrols I took the Fertilizer Adviser Certification and Training Scheme (FACTS) qualification. It was quite a challenge to go back to school for the first time in years, but it did me a lot of good. I found that I love the science in soil and grass. It’s one of the first jobs where I’ve found myself reading books or watching videos at 1 a.m. and my wife has nudged me saying ‘Go to sleep.’ The thing that astonished me was the number of times I read ‘The answer is not yet known.’ It’s almost like a frontier science. I had a number of different opportunities, but I chose to join EcoBunker because I believe it is a company that has almost limitless potential. EcoBunker allows greenkeeping staff to spend less time on their bunkers and get on with maintaining the surfaces that really matter.”
