CEO Richard Calvert featured in The Golf Business

The following extract is taken from The Golf Business article:

"The CEO of The Club Company, who’s the head of 17 country club general managers across 27 golf courses, explains why his company bought two new golf clubs last year, if there are plans for more acquisitions and the success the company has had in converting nine of its driving ranges into ‘entertainment centres’.

Can you tell us a bit about The Club Company?

Well, I’m proud to say that we are the UK’s leading country club owner and operator with 17 beautiful clubs spread across suburban England. My fantastic team of over 1,400 colleagues look after our nearly 50,000 members, as well as welcoming thousands of visitors across our portfolio. In total we have over 3,200 acres, which house 27 golf courses, multiple driving ranges, gyms, pools, spas, restaurants, cafes, hotels, creches, conference venues and much more! We are very much a multi-faceted offer and see our country clubs appealing to customers who can use our clubs for a wide variety of reasons.

What does your role as CEO entail and how much involvement do you have with the individual venues?

I’m privileged to lead The Club Company and don’t take this responsibility lightly. My team of 17 general managers are very competent indeed and are duly supported by my central support team in areas such as finance, marketing, people, procurement, IT and membership. We don’t have a traditional ‘head office’, as it is important the team are out in the clubs – we’re here to support our team and members alike."
