The Golf Consultants Association has voted for chairman Howard Swan to remain in the post for a further two years, following the recent annual general meeting in London.

Having been chairman since 2014, this latest decision ensures Swan, a course architect with the family-owned Swan Golf Designs, will serve a five-year term as head of the association.

Tom Searle, a health and safety consultant at Britrisk Safety, was invited to join the executive, which now comprises Swan; John Ashworth, from consulting and business advisory specialist John Ashworth Associates; Andy Barwell, a director with marcomms specialist Azalea; Neil Dainton, from golf consultancy Neil Dainton Golf; and Luis Desouza, the founder and CEO of NFS Technology Group.

The GCA, formed in 1999, is unique in the UK in its ability to make available a team of highly-respected and experienced golf industry professionals to see any phase of a project through from conception to end.
