Elegant Golf Resorts Opening New Office in Scotland
Elegant Golf Resorts, which was established in January 2009 as part of the EFR Travel Group based in Herts, is set to expand its operation, with the opening of a satellite office in Prestwick Airport on the 4th of January 2010. The new office will have views of the birthplace of the Open Championship - Old Prestwick Links, Arran and the Firth of Clyde - stunning. Suppliers and customers will be welcome for a visit during 2010.
This expansion follows a very successful first 11 months of trading, in the teeth of the UK's recession, realising sustained growth in sales and profit on a month to month basis. Indeed, November saw the company achieve its best figures of the year, showing signs that 2010 could be a very good second year.
The operation is headed by David Sledmere, who will be employing two of 3D Golf's very best and most experienced staff, namely John Paton on sales and Allison Neil on operations and administration. Between them, they have 23 years of experience in the golf travel business. David Sledmere will continue to be heavily involved in sales, giving the company a hands on approach to the business.
New venues for 2010 revolve around expanding the long haul portfolio, this will include South Africa, Egypt, Thailand, Bermuda, Jamaica, Barbados, Grenadines, Dominican Republic, Argentina and Bulgaria on the European side, which will be the new exciting short haul venue for 2010-2011 period with several Signature courses including the Lighthouse Golf Resort near Varna, accessible on British Airways from Gatwick.
David Sledmere says - "We must maximise our success, by selling as many venues as we can, where we have amazing airline contracts and this will make us the best value long haul golf operator, with the most up market website in the UK - specialising in golf."
"The operation is already in the black on investment costs and running overhead and we are looking to establish ourselves further during 2010, with a controlled level of expansion, we will not be the cheapest, but we will offer the best service and excellent value for money."
