Huxley Golf has announced the appointment of a new distributor in the north of England to look after sales and installations of the entire Huxley range of golf practice, teaching and playing aids.

Trading as Huxley Golf Northern, the new company is owned and operated by former European Tour player, Simon Townend, and Richard Lawrence, a low-handicap golfer with extensive experience of the golf market. Huxley Golf Northern is located at Unit 18b, Junction 7 Business Park, Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington, Lancashire.

The area covered by the new business encompasses Lancashire, Greater Manchester, most of Cheshire, western parts of Yorkshire including Leeds and Sheffield, and the counties of Northumberland, Cumbria and Durham. As Simon Townend lives near Blackburn and Richard Lawrence resides near Leeds, they are well placed to provide prompt and efficient customer service throughout this territory.

Products available from Huxley Golf Northern include the extensive range of Huxley premier all-weather surfaces for golf which provide high quality, low maintenance alternatives to natural turf on golf course tees, practice tees and ranges, golf greens, indoor and outdoor putting greens, paths, cartways, patios and lawns.

One of the many top golf courses who are Huxley customers is the world-famous St Andrews Links, having installed recently a large Huxley all-weather practice tee at its Golf Practice Centre and Golf Academy. In addition, eight Major Championship winners are among the many tournament professionals who practise at home on Huxley all-weather greens. 
 
Huxley Golf Northern’s product line-up also includes the range of premier quality Huxley Modular Greens which are supplied in kit form for DIY installation in just about any location and the Huxley Rotanet, a unique fully-retractable golf practice net designed for fast, easy assembly indoors or outside.

“Richard and I are delighted to have been appointed as a Huxley Golf distributor and installer for a very important part of the country,” commented Simon Townend. “Trading as Huxley Golf Northern, we will be focusing 100 per cent on the Huxley range of golf practice, teaching and playing aids for which we are confident there will be high demand in an area containing many keen golfers and a large number of excellent golf clubs, academies and ranges. Initial feedback has been excellent and we secured our first order within days of our appointment.”

Paul Huxley, a director of Huxley Golf, said that the appointment of Simon Townend and Richard Lawrence marked a significant step for the company in the north of England. “We are delighted that Simon and Richard have joined the Huxley Golf team and will be using their considerable experience and ability to benefit Huxley Golf customers in such an important part of the country. Working alongside our other appointed distributor/installers throughout the region, I am sure that Huxley Golf Northern will do a first class job for us, backed by comprehensive sales, technical and installation support from the Huxley Golf team at our Hampshire headquarters. We wish them every success in their new venture.”
