What do our clients say about us?
“I have realised over the past few years that the golf industry is changing – becoming more demanding and requiring more versatile golf professionals. Doing this course has given me lots of new ideas, concepts and initiatives that I can put into practice at my club. In this respect, it’s a really hands-on, practical training qualification. I would recommend the course for all those working in the golf industry and looking to improve their knowledge and skills with regard to promoting visitor, guest and golf society incomes.”
“We’ve been delighted with the number of course enrollments we’ve experienced with this first course. For us, it clearly demonstrates that there is a real need in the industry for practical, hands-on training that can be undertaken in people’s own time and at their own pace.”
“I recently attended a Training Matters Taster Day being run by Material Matters. It was one of the best training events I have been on and I came away with several great ideas which I was able to implement straight away. All of the speakers were captivating, informative and interesting to listen to. The organisation of the event was perfect and I would recommend this to anyone else involved in the industry.”
“We have worked with Paul and the team at Material Matters for over two years now and their professionalism and drive to achieve success on our behalf has helped us to make considerable savings on many areas across the business. In addition to this, the bi-monthly meetings with our key account managers has enabled them to further increase their awareness of potential savings, and to ensure that we are always focused on maximising these savings without compromising on the quality we require. The partnership we have built with Material Matters has become an integral part of the cost management philosophy we use at the club.”
“Just wanted to give you some feedback really. I have dealt with a lot of companies during my time in golf and I have to say that yourself and MM have really hit the mark in terms of making the customer feel like they are being looked after. Everyone involved has been superb during this time of enormous change for all – nothing is a problem, everyone has ownership and really seems to want the best.
Well done for creating this ethic and long may it continue.
Here’s to a really positive relationship for all.”
“We have had a great start to our year and I am very mindful that Material Matters have played a large part in helping us with that success.”
