Former Head Greenkeeper from Royal Winchester records highest ever turnover in first month’s trading.

Kevin Unsworth started his new outlet in the beginning of April 2009.

He’s had a massive response and has been inundated with enquires for his greenkeeping experience. Kevin has worked for the prestigious Royal Winchester Golf Club, and also been employed by leading golf course group, American Golf.

“Customers just can’t believe they can have this level of expertise for the same price as other franchise lawn companies,” Kevin enthused.

Hampshire outlet owned by Spencer and Claire Haines has been one of the fastest growing outlets in Lawn Master’s history.

Spencer is the former Course Manager from Hartley Wintney Golf Club.

“We have such demand for our services that we’ll be looking to acquire our forth van before the end of our second year,” he explained. “We’ve taken customers on in droves, mainly from word of mouth.”
