Worldwide Golf Brands has announced the appointment of Spike Golf Agency as its sales agent representing Oscar Jacobson, MacGregor, Stuburt and Wishbone Golf in the south east England and those brands plus BIG MAX in the eastern region of the country.
Spike Golf Agency is a new venture from industry veteran Spike Freeman, in partnership with his son Louis Freeman.
Spike has had a distinguished 38-year career at PUMA that has spanned the introduction of PUMA Golf in 2006, the acquisition of COBRA from Acushnet in 2010 and the formation of COBRA PUMA GOLF, in the role of General Manager UK&I. Louis spent ten years at PUMA, including six years at COBRA PUMA GOLF before joining Wilson Golf as Area Sales Manager for the South East.
“The chance to work with people who have such a depth of industry experience as Spike and Louis does not often come along,” said Worldwide Golf Brands Managing Director Graeme Stevens. “We have been searching for the right people for this key territory for some time, and I’m delighted that we have been able to secure their services. With their combined experience across apparel, footwear and hardware, and their enthusiasm for our brands, we couldn’t ask for better partners.”
Louis will be contacting accounts over the coming weeks, while Spike will join him at the new agency when he leaves PUMA on April 1.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to work alongside Louis on a great portfolio of brands,” commented Spike. “We have high quality products across a range of categories and price points. Oscar Jacobson, Stuburt, BIG MAX and MacGregor come with an impressive pedigree.
“We’re looking forward to presenting them to existing and new partners across the territory, for whom many this will be the first time they’ll have seen them. In our combined 50 years’ experience in the sports industry we have built long term relationships based on service & trust, and we’re looking forward to continuing that approach in this exciting new partnership.”
Spike Golf Agency will be covering Oscar Jacobson, Stuburt, BIG MAX, MacGregor and Wishbone across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, North London; and all brands except BIG MAX across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, South London, & Channel Islands.
