James Hare joins Foremost as business development consultant Foremost Golf, the UK’s largest golf retail and marketing services group, has appointed James Hare as a business development consultant for the north east of England, Scotland and Ireland. James began his career in golf alongside Mark Rogers at Seaton Carew Golf Club, gaining initial industry exposure and knowledge which expanded to teaching and custom fitting. He completed his PGA training during this period, establishing a strong foundation for professional development. “I have used a variety of Foremost services in my professional career, each contributing immensely to our operations and allowing better and more consistent communication with customers” commented James Hare. Hare was appointed head professional at Richmond (Yorks) Golf Club, serving for five years, before moving to Dinsdale Spa Golf Club in Darlington as head professional. He was promoted to director of golf following a change in the club’s ownership, and then joined Hunley Golf Club in 2020. In 2023, Hunley transitioned their golf retail operations in-house, moving away from a franchised model. “Foremost Golf’s Central Invoicing and EMP Premium services were essential for me to drive income, enhance the club’s reputation, and establish Hunley as a premier destination for golf equipment”, added Hare. Currently responsible for supporting PGA professionals and golf clubs in the north east of England, Scotland and Ireland, James’ responsibilities range from Hull, England to Brora in the Highlands, with several accounts to manage in Dublin and the surrounding area; leveraging industry experience to help them grow their businesses. Andy Martin, managing director of Foremost Golf, added “James joins us to add yet another layer to the new role of the Foremost business development consultants, who will be armed with reports from the group’s Foremost POS system to help them identify opportunities to support member retailers improve their business and increase their sales.” “We’re thrilled with his decision to join us to represent the North East of England, Scotland and Ireland, and we’re confident that his two decades of experience in the golf industry will allow him to successfully navigate such a large part of our business.” For more information on how Foremost can assist you and your business in simply email membership@foremostgolf.com or call 01753 218 890 February 18, 2025By Tom Law General 0 Comment (0) Comments are closed.
