Meet The Team

Managing Director

With over 10 years of experience in the artificial grass and sports surfacing industry, I founded Active Golf Projectswith a clear goal — to create inspiring, high-quality, and educational play and sports environments that encourage children and families to stay active.

As a keen sportswoman, I’m passionate about the importance of sport and physical activity in developing confidence, teamwork, and wellbeing. My mission is to design spaces that not only get children moving but also spark their imagination and love for sport.

In my role as Managing Director, I am involved in every stage of the project journey:

•⁠ ⁠I am the first point of contact for our clients, working closely with them to understand their vision and goals.
•⁠ ⁠I help transform initial ideas into clear concepts, producing mood boards and creative portfolios for our design team to develop into formal plans.
•⁠ ⁠Once designs are finalised, I oversee procurement and material sourcing, ensuring each project is delivered to the highest standard, on time and within budget.
•⁠ ⁠Throughout the build, I liaise weekly with our on-site teams, monitoring progress and materials to keep clients fully updated through detailed progress reports.
•⁠ ⁠I also manage the administrative and operational aspects of the business, ensuring our projects run efficiently from concept to completion.

Driven by creativity, collaboration, and a genuine love of sport, I take great pride in helping our clients bring their ideas to life — building spaces where fun, learning, and activity come together.

Managing Director

With over 16 years of experience in the golf and sports surfacing industry, and a background in construction since the age of 17, I bring a wealth of hands-on knowledge and expertise to every project.

A keen golfer and all-round sportsman, I have a genuine passion for creating exceptional sports and leisure facilitiesthat can be enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities. For me, it’s about combining quality craftsmanship with creativity — delivering spaces that inspire people to get active and have fun.

As Managing Director, I’m fully involved in every aspect of our projects:

•⁠ ⁠I project manage all sites, ensuring the highest standards of build quality and attention to detail.
•⁠ ⁠I’m a regular presence on-site, working closely with our teams to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely.
•⁠ ⁠I oversee quantification and estimating, collaborating with our team to produce accurate and competitive project quotes.
•⁠ ⁠I manage and motivate all site teams, ensuring consistent progress, clear communication, and successful project delivery.

My goal is simple — to design and build fantastic sports facilities that bring people together, promote physical activity, and leave a lasting impression for years to come.

Head of Installation

As a scratch handicap golfer who has played for the county since the age of four, golf has always been a major part of my life. That lifelong passion drives my work and gives me a deep understanding of what makes a course both challenging and enjoyable to play.

Before joining Active Golf Projects, I spent eight years as an Assistant Head Greenskeeper, developing a strong technical background in course maintenance, shaping, and turf management. This experience now underpins my role as Head of Installation, where I oversee the on-site delivery of all our projects from start to finish.

With a keen eye for detail, I ensure that every feature — from the contours of the greens to the overall course layout — is built to a professional standard. My goal is to create adventure golf courses and practice areas that not only look fantastic, but also help players physically improve their game through smart, functional design.

When it comes to transforming ideas into immersive, visually striking golf experiences, Steph is the talent behind the magic. Starting with the project brief and mood board, she crafts the overarching design concept that brings each client’s vision to life.

Steph blends creativity with strategy, ensuring every course is not only visually compelling but also thoughtfully planned for flow, playability, and player engagement. Her eye for aesthetics, combined with a deep understanding of how people interact with space, results in designs that feel cohesive, inviting, and memorable.

From early concept sketches to the refined visual direction, Steph shapes the look and feel of each project—setting the foundation for a course that’s both beautiful and brilliantly playable.

Barketing Manager

Our four-legged brand ambassador who specializes in tail-wagging customer engagement, boosting team morale, and ensuring every meeting includes at least one mandatory belly rub break.

Chester absolutely loves coming on site. The minute he jumps out of the van, he’s in full adventure mode—tail wagging, nose twitching, and ready to “oversee” every part of the build. He brings instant energy to the team, greeting everyone like old friends and lifting morale wherever he goes.

And when it comes to being ball-obsessed, Chester was practically born for life on an adventure golf course. With balls everywhere, he thinks each site is his own personal paradise. Whether he’s chasing a stray one across the turf, waiting patiently for someone to throw it, or proudly carrying one around like a trophy, he’s fully committed to his role as Chief Ball Enthusiast.

His enthusiasm, charm, and love for all things ball-related make him the perfect furry mascot for a company that builds golf courses. The team wouldn’t have it any other way.
