Padbrook’s
spokesperson, Gary Scargill, said: “We’re
extremely happy with the work having looked around the
market place before choosing the supplier. We chose
Ken White Signs because of its reputation for customer
service. The company has an exceptional customer service
record with a reputation second to none. The quality
of their signs is absolutely superb.”
General manager of Ken White Signs,
Chris White, added: “Extensive improvements are
being carried out at Padbrook Park and our signs have
been specially designed to complement the new image.
We have been very pleased with the job and it’s
been a pleasure working with the course officials.”
Of the partnership with Strokesaver
Chris said: “There’s a really good relationship
between the two companies. We’ve done a few joint
projects already, one of which is Hamilton Golf Club
in Scotland – a Strokesaver customer converted
into a Ken White Signs customer.
“Together, we’ve jointly
taken part in the Golf Secretary’s Show, which
went very well. I think initially people were a bit
surprised to see us together, but everyone seemed to
feel it was a positive move. We can see Together in
Golf (TiG) progressing in the future.”
The joint association has enabled
both companies to take on Diane Searle, a sales and
servicing rep, who will be covering the South East of
the country. Of her appointment, Chris said: “Diane
has proved to be a really good acquisition and with
her onboard, we’re now able to quote for many
more new projects.
“Her experience and ability
mean that she’s more than just a sales rep, she’s
a service rep, making sure everyone is looked after.
To us, the golf industry is about being in there for
the long haul, and offering the best in service. Good
customer care is vitally important to us and courses
that use TiG will benefit from the pooling of experience
provided by both companies.”
Fraser Moore, UK sales manager for
Strokesaver, added: “The concept started a couple
of years ago when both companies first met out in the
field. We found many of our clients wanted a one-stop
service and so we started looking for a signage company.
“Ken White Signs had new ideas
and fresh products which was just what we were after.
They have the same vision we have.
“Last January, we did
our first show together at the BTME, the Bigga Turf
and Management Exhibition, and we’ve been doing
them ever since. Exhibiting jointly is a great way of
promoting brand awareness and meeting clients. In only
a short time we’ve gone from strength to strength
and this is largely due in part to the exhibitions,
which have created a lot of interest. I firmly believe
that TiG will be hugely beneficial to both companies
as time goes on.”
