Walkinshaw Sports was established in October 2010 and is now celebrating 10 years in operation. Whilst the company was successful in establishing a strong footprint across the golf industry, through its first five years, there has been a significant shift in the business, after the recruitment of its current General Manager Dan Harrap in 2016. At this time, The Walkinshaw Group board commissioned a project to capture information and data, to support a business plan that would develop and transform its golf/sports business into a company that would be best described as a ‘house of brands’ for the Golf sector.

Under Harrap’s leadership, Walkinshaw Sports has now established one of the most impressive brand portfolios in golf, by targeting specific brands for growth in this region, utilising their scale and position of strength in the marketplace and through their turn key sales and distribution infrastructure.
