Zen Green Stage announces Fore Finance deal for UK golf industry

2.30pm 26th July 2024 - Corporate

Zen Green Stage, the world’s leading provider of interactive golf platforms, is excited to announce a ground-breaking partnership with Fore Finance, a premier financial services provider, to offer tailored asset finance solutions for the UK golf industry.

The initiative will make Zen’s cutting-edge moving floor golf technology available at a more accessible price for UK golf clubs, academies and golfers, fostering growth and innovation within the sport.

Zen Green Stage and Fore Finance will in this way revolutionise how golf facilities across the UK can invest in Zen’s advanced technology, and install it into their facilities without high up-front costs.

“Our partnership with Fore Finance is a significant step towards democratizing access to high-end moving floor technology,” said Zen Green Stage CEO Nick Middleton. “By accessing flexible financing options, more golf facilities will be able to enhance their training programmes and provide their members with the unparalleled practice experience which an adjustable Zen playing surface provides.”

The deal covers Zen’s best-selling Green Stage, the definitive professional putting green, as well as the Zen Green Stage Hybrid, which enables both putting and hitting shots off gradients, and the newer hitting-only Zen Swing Stage, a lower-cost solution which brings the golf course indoors from the tee to around the green.

Fore Finance is renowned for its customer-centric approach and expertise in providing tailored financial solutions. The Zen partnership will offer bespoke financing packages designed to meet the unique needs of the golf industry, including flexible payment terms and competitive interest rates.

“We are delighted to be the funding partner of Zen Green Stage – the product is world class and a real game changer” said Andy Herridge, Partner at Fore Finance. “We can help fund Green Stage and Swing Stage through either a purchase or lease package, depending on which package suits the clients best.

“Given how fundamentally they enhance golf coaching, practice and entertainment, we can only see the Zen range of adjustable golf platforms going from strength to strength, when coupled with the right finance package.

“We are happy to work from initial enquiry, through to completion, at a time frame which works for all parties.”

Nick Middleton emphasised the broader impact of this initiative: “This collaboration is about more than just providing access to our technology. It’s about supporting the growth and excellence of the UK golf industry. By making it easier for golf facilities to invest in advanced training tools, we are helping to elevate the overall standard of golf coaching and play.”

An easy-application process will enable customers to apply for asset finance directly through Fore Finance, with a streamlined approval process designed to minimise the administrative burden.

Financing options can then be tailored to suit the specific financial and operational needs of each facility, ensuring maximum flexibility, with the Zen team providing ongoing support from installation through to daily use, ensuring optimal use of its technology and a smooth transition into the world of moving floors.
