Almost all of us in the office love a good round, whether there’s a 19^th hole or not. We love it; it’s a great distraction for us and allows our busy brains to switch off from the demands of office re-fits, refurbishments and office design thoughts. It’s just us, a club, the course and maybe a tinny or two! Needless to say, Jon is perhaps the most significantly golf crazy of all of us!

This obsession has taken us across various courses throughout the UK, Europe and further afield, and it has been the cause of some fantastic introductions, both from a sporting and a business angle. We all know great deals happen on the golf course, even in the office fit-out industry! As with all healthy obsessions, our obsession with golf has manifested in numerous ways, not least with our decision to sponsor Pro Golfer, Steve Brown.

This is our second year sponsoring Steve on the European Tour. He has been playing the Challenge Tour since his rookie season in 2014 and has finished in the top 10 four times! This year Steve played at the British Masters and finished tied 58^th in the final standings.

Jon was introduced to Steve by a mutual friend and the sponsorship deal was struck up soon after. Steve’s hard work on the golf course has not gone unnoticed – in the past he has been has been called up to the Walker Cup team to face America, after his first major win English Amateur win and taking the Runner’s up spot in the European Amateur.

Anything we can do that helps Steve stay out on the Tour, they play all the time on tour, can only be a good thing. And if that also translates to some great pro tips for us in the office, well I guess that’s a burden we’ll just have to bear. Good news, too, is that given Steve plays almost all the time we can provide constant updates on how he’s doing and what’s been going on (from a golfing POV only I promise) tour.
