Chippenham Goes International
Chippenham Golf Club has announced that Derek McKenzie (CCM), will take over as General Manager on 21st March following the departure of Leighton Walker to Burford Golf Club.
Derek comes to Chippenham with a CV that includes experience in Egypt, Mallorca and most recently Thailand in his role at the Santiburi Samui resort. Originally from Scotland, the move will mean a return to the UK for Derek, where he started his career, and a challenge that he is very much looking forward to.
Leighton Walker, current GM stated, “This is a great recruitment for the club and will help to build on the foundations that have been laid by a very progressive golf club. Derek will bring a new, fresh outlook and his vast experience and qualifications will stand him in great stead. I’m sure the members will take to him very quickly.”
Chippenham Golf Club has seen strong growth over all areas of the business in recent years to now make it one of the strongest clubs in Wiltshire.
