Clubhouse refurbishment at The Manor GC — a Golf Finance case study

26 March 2024

The Manor Golf Club in Leeds underwent a clubhouse refurbishment with the help of GCMA partner Golf Finance and the results were stunning.

The Vision

It’s a common sight at many Golf Clubs across the country; a large locker room that is rarely used, and most days simply sits empty.

Mark and Andrew, the owners of The Manor Golf Club in Leeds, had their sights set on more than just a refurbishment – they had a vision of something rather more special.

The project was mapped out to completely overhaul the space and create a first-class clubhouse and restaurant facility for both members and visitors, providing an additional revenue stream for the club. Like all well-run businesses, the importance of this project being financially sustainable was central to the development.

The Process

In exploring options to part fund the project, The Manor contacted GCMA partner Golf Finance – asset funding specialist for the golf industry.

Within days, a package was secured which allowed the Golf Club to push the green button and give the go ahead to their preferred supplier, Medlock FRB.

The communication and application process with the finance house, and the staged payment invoicing with Medlock, was all handled by Golf Finance — allowing Mark and Andrew to continue the day-to-day running of the business.

The Outcome

The end result is something that everyone involved can feel proud of.

From a large, unused space to a thriving hub of activity, The Manor now has a wonderful facility which will be enjoyed by customers for years to come.

The finance agreement in place allows secure cash flow management, ensuring a certainty of payments, and the business is now enjoying the benefits of an additional revenue stream.

Through Golf Finance, the club have a continued point of contact to manage the agreement should anything arise.

“We are delighted with this development and what we have been able to do with the area. The fact we
were able to speak to the team, Golf Finance, was really important to us, and we found their experience of working with golf clubs to be really beneficial. They were extremely straightforward to deal with through the whole process,”
Andrew Cook — Owner

John Steele

John Steele is a former professional athlete, sports coach, Olympic Leader and is the Executive Director of Sport at Loughborough University. He has been Chief Executive across a range of sectors. Drawing on leadership experience of nine different Olympic and Paralympic Games (including the amazing events at the Rio Games), John reflects on the lessons from this unique period in British sport and relays his fascinating views on creating high performing teams.

Indeed, inspired from PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, by the most successful performance ever for Team GB, he has a whole host of new business and leadership insights into how this was brilliant performance was achieved and how it can translate back into your organisation.

John moved into the corporate world, before he enjoyed an outstanding career as a professional rugby player achieving international honours. After his playing career, he turned his hand to coaching and achieved the highest accolade for a British club coach by winning the European Cup with Northampton Saints. He then became Executive Director on the Saints Board during a period of unprecedented growth, and served on the England Rugby Board during the successful world cup campaign of 2003. It was no surprise that John’s talents were called upon to drive through a change and modernisation programme as CEO of the Rugby Football Union – a challenge that became controversial and ended in his departure from the post after only a year, but with his dignity and professional pride intact.

Headhunted by UK Sport, John took up post as CEO the day before London won the 2012 Olympic bid – and this promising start was sustained as he embarked on developing the UK’s high performance sport system, which he led for a six-year period of unprecedented success through the Beijing and London Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Post-London 2012, with the Olympic legacy in place and an obligation to continue inspiring a generation, John took up his post as Group Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust. He has also succeeded Steve Cram as Chairman of the English Institute of Sport, an organisation described as ‘the team behind the team’, which delivers a range of performance impacting solutions to over 40 Olympic and Paralympic sports and some non-Olympic sports.
