Rolawn Medallion turf floating over the Tyne

Visitors to the NewcastleGateshead Bridges Festival which took place on 13/14th August were able to stroll across the Swing Bridge and enjoy artist Julia Barton’s recreation of Lord Armstrong’s long lost formal garden floating over the Tyne. 

Called Lost & Found, community groups from across the region worked together to transform this usually busy urban crossing into a classical tranquil green space. Large green swathes of Rolawn’s Medallion turf helped to bring the classical formal paths and planting of the garden into this busy urban centre creating an unusual pedestrian walkway and garden for visitors to enjoy.

Carol Bell, Head of Culture & Major Events at NewcastleGateshead Initiative said: “Due to the large expanses to be turfed and the tight time constraints involved, Rolawn Medallion turf in 13m2 large format rolls was used. We were very pleased with the quality of the turf and the service provided.” 

NewcastleGateshead Bridges Festival was developed and produced by NewcastleGateshead Initiative as part of its year-round festivals and events programme. The Bridges Festival will return in 2012 as part of NewcastleGateshead’s London 2012 Games celebrations. Newcastle is a Host City and will host Olympic football during the London 2012 Games.

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.
