Mizuno have welcomed Philip Scott and Anthony Haste to their UK and Ireland sales team.
Scott joins as Key Account Manager, covering larger accounts as well as working with Jason Selfe for major buying groups. He has 20 years’ experience in the golf industry, having spent the last decade in the Middle East fronting the sales and distribution for a leading distributor.
Scott says “I’m incredibly excited to step into the role of Key Account Manager for Mizuno Golf. Having spent years working with the Mizuno team as a brand distributor in the Middle East, I’ve seen first hand the company’s dedication to excellence, innovation, and sporting heritage. Mizuno’s legacy in golf is unmatched, from its precision-engineered equipment to its deep-rooted presence among professionals and amateurs alike.
"I look forward to continuing the incredible work of the current team, strengthening relationships, and forging new partnerships with key customers. It’s an honour to represent a brand that embodies craftsmanship, performance, and passion for the game. Proud to be a brand ambassador for Mizuno Golf and eager to build on the successes that make this brand truly special.”
Haste joins the Mizuno sales team as Area Sales Representative for the Midlands region, taking over from long term sales manager Steve Cookson, who has recently retired. Haste is a vastly experienced golf professional with extensive time spend on the customer/retailer side of the golf industry with Horsley Lodge Golf Club and Midlands Golf Academy to name a couple. He has recently been working with Mizuno as a golf technical representative, before taking on this new and exciting role.
Haste says “I am exceptionally proud to be joining Mizuno Golf with rich sporting heritage dating back to 1906 and the forefront of technological advancement in today’s competitive market as Area Sale Representative for the Midlands.
"While running my own golf retail facilities Mizuno was always my favoured brand to stock for the quality, performance and the unprecedented feel from Mizuno’s grain flow forging process. The complete range that is available from Mizuno allows us to offer an extensive range for the golf retailer to stock along with the comprehensive fitting service and unparalleled fitting options to compliment the precision craftwork.
"I’m eagerly anticipating meeting the staff at Mizuno and working with the passionate team. I look forward to engaging with all the accounts within my area whilst to continuing to build relationships and grow the account base though my contacts I have made during my 25 years in the golf industry.
