Meet the Turf Management Team

Syngenta has a long history in the turf industry and a wealth of experience in this area. Our team live and breath turf (not literally), and they also love blogging about it.

Sean Loakes

UK Turf Technical Manager

A qualified biologist, Sean has had a career in environmental science and research through practical field trials and laboratory studies, primarily focused on pesticide efficacy and best practice.

Sean’s role ensures UK turf mangers are best placed to implement new ideas and innovations from Syngenta turf R&D into practical integrated turf management programmes.
