Golf technology expert joins Journey to develop its Golf Management solution for luxury hotels and resorts.
CHELTENHAM, UK – Hotel ecommerce company Journey Hospitality has appointed Mal Rennie to the new role of Director of Golf.
Rennie has over two decades of experience working with golf technology companies, as Sales Director at Golfbookings.com to General Manager, later Managing Director and Chairman of its parent company, Concept Software Systems.
In his new role as Director of Golf at Journey, Rennie will lead the company’s strategy and vision for the Golf Management platform which is is already in use at leading luxury resorts including Bovey Castle (Devon), Tewkesbury Park (Gloucestershire), Rockliffe Hall (Durham), and Goodwood Hotel (West Sussex).
Rennie said: “Golf is not just my business, it’s my passion. I’ve worked – and played – in this space long enough to know that technology is increasingly vital in delivering a great golfing and hospitality experience. It’s not just about providing a great tee-sheet with retail and membership functionality; the wants and needs of resort properties have evolved and Journey’s portfolio of products and services fully complement and enhance this. I’m looking forward to introducing the Journey platform to the market and the positive impact we’ll make to both guests and owners alike – exciting times!”
Simon Bullingham, CEO and Founder of Journey Hospitality, said: “Mal’s expertise is a perfect fit with our wish to provide the leading end-to-end experience management solution for hotels and resorts. Working with our onejourney ecommerce platform to drive direct bookings, the spa and golf solutions enhance a guest’s digital journey. Mal’s experience will be invaluable as we scale our offering across the UK and beyond.”
Away from the office, Rennie can – unsurprisingly – be found on a golf course.
