Managing Director & Sales

Rob Winwood

Rob serves as the visionary owner-manager and the driving force behind Hallmarket Ltd and TurfWorld. With a founding year dating back to 1984, the company has continually prospered under his leadership.

Rob’s roots in engineering run deep, making him not only a seasoned dealer in turf machinery but also a mastermind in crafting bespoke machines from the ground up.

He stands as the unrivalled wellspring of knowledge in the realm of turf machinery.

Customer Accounts Manager & Secretary

Tina Winwood

Tina shoulders two vital roles at Hallmarket and TurfWorld, serving as the steward of our accounts and as the steady hand that keeps Rob in line.

Her journey began in commercial banking, and in 1998, she graciously shared her wealth of knowledge with our family business.

Beyond the confines of her professional life, Tina is a dynamo of activity. She relishes her time at the gym, delights in leisurely dog walks, and finds solace in nurturing her garden.

Director & Operations

James Winwood

James, as Rob’s son, has been a vital part of our team since completing his A-levels. He oversees machinery maintenance and operations at our turf farm and actively participates in assembling new and refurbished equipment.

With his extensive hands-on expertise in repairing, maintaining and assembling various turf machinery, James is a valuable resource for customers seeking equipment guidance and technical support.

He also manages our turf cultivation and harvesting operations, thanks to his in-depth experience operating the machinery. This enables him to swiftly provide practical solutions to our customers’ needs.

Head of Operations

Declan Peabody

Dec, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, worked at Jaguar Land Rover’s Design headquarters in Gaydon, where he gained valuable experience and met Holly, Rob’s daughter, who also worked there.

In early 2022, during a family holiday, Dec accepted Rob’s proposal to join Hallmarket and TurfWorld. He began his role in June 2022 and has since taken on various responsibilities.

In December 2022, Dec and Holly got married, bringing joy to all.

In addition to his office duties, Dec has been actively involved in developing our aggregates business, collaborating closely with Rob’s son James to enhance productivity and quality.
