Rolawn

National Film & Television School uses Rolawn turf in film set

Rolawn’s renowned Medallion turf has been incorporated into the set of ‘Skyborn’ which is a graduation fiction film produced at the National Film & Television School in Beaconsfield.

Written and directed by final-year student Jamie Stone, the story tells the plight of Gideon and his son Blue who, as seemingly the last remaining humans on earth, are constructing an elaborate flying machine in an effort to escape a world of perpetual smog. Shot almost entirely on the School’s main studio stage, the film required the construction of a large, stone croft structure and a vast area of landscape and marshland (not to mention a full-scale rickety flying machine!). The film was produced by Len Rowles, it was shot by Robin Whenary and the sets were designed by John Merry – all final-year students at the NFTS.

Skyborn is currently in post-production and is due to be completed in late December.

The National Film and Television School is the UK’s national centre of excellence for postgraduate education. The NFTS teaches in purpose-built studios that include two film stages, a separate large television studio and post production facilities rivalling those of many professional companies. http://www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
