About “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:

1. Surrey Loams Ltd — the Company — only produces GOSTD brand products, an acronym of Graded Organic Sports Turf Dressings, under our GOSTD brand trade mark.
2. The Company’s products are only marketed and delivered with a Surrey Loams Ltd delivery note bearing the Company’s distinctive GOSTD trade name and trade mark, shown here.
3. The Company’s products are only bagged in distinctive black and white polythene bags bearing the Company’s distinctive GOSTD trade name and trade mark.
