Doug Poole – CEO of the UK Golf Federations comments –

"We are always looking for new formats for GolfBIC and our 2023 events have proved very exciting and have proved a successful way for our members to meet and discuss business. They are all professional operators or owners of golf facilities and don't always want to sit in a hall learning about ways to better the golf industry as they are well able to hold the floor themselves. So GB23's new format opened up new ways to communicate and work together”

2024 sees major changes in GolfBIC's format as it takes to the road with four one day Roadshows across the UK. Information and details to follow.
