Stewart Golf MD Mark Stewart recently attended a reception at 10 Downing Street to recognise the continued innovation and growth of Stewart Golf.
The Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson hosted a reception for a selection of Britain’s most innovative entrepreneurs at Downing Street to recognise their contribution to business. The event brought together 150 entrepreneurs from a range of sectors and backgrounds.
While the world’s economies have been going through the most turbulent period ever seen, Stewart Golf has continued to develop new products and grow sales. The new £2500 F1 Lithium golf trolley has won the company two design awards and has been instrumental in helping the company to a 30% growth in like for like sales, with exports also growing steadily.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said at the reception: "I want to thank each of you individually for making the big decision to start a business, for taking the risk to do so, for making all the effort that has made your business a success. For showing the ambition and the aspiration to do something not just for yourself but for people whom you employ, and in that way to make our country a stronger and better place.”
Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson went on to say: "Britain’s entrepreneurs have the skills, resources and knowledge base to lead us out of the downturn. This reception is an opportunity to hear first hand from those entrepreneurs and businesses owners who have shown great enterprise and flair in ensuring that their businesses are successful in the current climate.”
Stewart Golf Managing Director, Mark Stewart said: “It was a tremendous honour to be invited to a reception for entrepreneurs at Number 10. Stewart Golf continues to grow even in these difficult times and I can only put that down to the continued innovation, persistence and sheer hard work of the whole team. We’re not resting on our laurels though; we have great plans for the coming years to build on that growth. ”
