New Retail Manager off to a flying start at Carus Green

Burneside-based golf club, Carus Green, has experienced its ‘busiest August ever’, helped in no small part, by the efforts of new Retail Manager, Alex Wood.

Alex, 48, from Windermere, who joined the pro-active team in June, has more than 10-years-experience in the golf industry and has brought his knowledge and expertise to Carus’ golf centre, which opened last October.  Despite the disappointing summer weather, retail sales at Carus increased by 71 per cent on the same period last year with hardware sales increasing by 140 per cent. The new shop, additional personnel and a tighter infrastructure have all been cited as contributory factors in such significant increases.

Together with his skills at sales, Alex is focusing on ensuring customers receive the highest level of service at Carus, in addition to managing the new website’s online sales, with the e-commerce part of the shop launching just last month, selling renowned brands such as Adidas, Under Armour and Callaway.

“I am delighted to have joined such a professional team at the Carus Green golf centre and am very much looking forward to helping them continue to enjoy the level of success they are experiencing,” says Alex. “My objective is to ensure that Carus becomes the number one destination of choice for golfers in the North of England.”
