Through the growth and evolution of the company since Turf Care’s start in 1975, one thing that remains unchanged is an unwavering commitment to customer service. “In an ever-changing world where more and more business is done remotely, one of Turf Care’s differentiation points is that we still believe in doing as much business as we can face-to-face with our customers, allowing us to continue to build and nurture longstanding relationships,” says Turf Care’s President, Tim Trimper. Over the past year, despite being forced to temporarily adjust the face-to-face customer interaction that the company has been built on, those long-standing loyalties and customer relationships have been key to Turf Care’s ability prosper even in the face of a pandemic. Over the years, the core of Turf Care’s business has remained the same, their evolution relates to continually seeking ways to make it easier to do business with them, from increasing their product offerings and expanding their sales and service coverage model, to most recently launching a new Ecommerce platform.
Turf Care’s staff of 150 employees spread across 7 offices in Ontario and Quebec are at the heart of everything the company does, embodying the company’s values and mission, and shaping the overall customer experience. With is a strong emphasis on workplace culture and community, the company supports a variety of employee-led social and charitable initiatives from staff BBQs and social events to local outreach through food drives and fundraisers.
“Being named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies is great recognition for the entire staff and management team,” says Andrew Sunn, Turf Care’s CFO. Having previously been a part of a company that also achieved this designation, Sunn and Turf Care’s senior leadership team are honoured to be receiving this award again. “It’s gratifying to see that since acquiring Turf Care in 2019, we have made a positive impact not only on the financial results, but also on the culture of the company.”
