A driving force behind the creation of Bunclody Golf and Fishing Club, the course tipped to become Ireland’s next must-play destination, has hailed the contribution of Yorkshire-based shop-fitting specialists Millerbrown in bringing the project to reality.
Millerbrown was chosen ahead of several rival firms to design and fit out the pro shop at the club, which occupies 300 acres of rolling County Wexford countryside and is an hour’s drive from Dublin. And business in the shop was already booming within days of the project’s opening last month. Ian Kerr, a member of the 13-strong consortium behind the project, said: “Sales in the shop have exceeded my expectations. In the first 10 days they were double what I expected.
“We’re selling five-star products at three-star prices in five-star surroundings and we’re delighted with the way the shop looks and at the manner in which the work was done. “The two shop-fitters from Millerbrown were very professional and very efficient — so much so that they even brought their own vacuum cleaner and dustpan and brush to make sure the floor was spotless once they’d finished!”
Millerbrown’s role did not stop there, however. The company sent over a team to merchandise the shop as part of the fitting-out contract and Kerr added: “That really helped us get away to a flying start. The assistance we were given in merchandising the shop was invaluable.” Commenting on that aspect of the contract, Paul Sanders, Millerbrown design consultant, said: “As far as I am aware this is not a service any other shopfitting company offers.
“As for the completed clubhouse and our role in it - I am delighted with how well the shop has dovetailed with the beautiful finishes the owners have specified and the craftsmanship employed. This is one very special shop in a unique clubhouse.”
