Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
The NMBS Exhibition next week will feature footballing legend John Barnes on the ArtificialGrass.com stand.
The ex-England international winger, who has almost 600 appearances at club level for Liverpool, Watford and Newcastle and 79 England caps to his name, was voted “England’s greatest ever left-footed player”. He will be stepping out on the ArtificialGrass.com turf at the NMBS event on the afternoon of Thursday 10th April.
ArtificialGrass.com will be in their customary position on Stand 51 at the show taking place between 10-11 April 2025. As part of the Evergreens UK Group celebrating their 40th business anniversary in 2025, the team will be welcoming Barnes and adding his name to their roll call which has seen guest appearances from footballers including Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley and Gordon Strachan.
Commercial director Andy Driver, says: “The NMBS event is always a highlight of the promotional calendar. There is such a buzz around the place, and being able to mark our 40th year by inviting John Barnes to join us means that we get to celebrate with many of our existing and potential merchant customers too. As a player and manager, John has always been the ultimate professional, so we’re thrilled to induct him into the ArtificialGrass.com Football Hall of Fame alongside all his other achievements.”
Among the features on the stand will be the product launches of Ambition (the softest yet) and Jubilee (a 40th anniversary special). The team will also continue to share the latest news on their ONE-DNA™ 100% circular products.
