Premier Turfing Limited has announced the acquisition of the staff, operational assets, specialist machinery and ongoing project portfolio of John Greasley Limited, marking a significant new chapter for one of the UK’s most respected names in golf course construction.
For more than forty years, John Greasley has been synonymous with high‑quality golf course construction, championship‑level remodeling and complex drainage works across many of the nation’s most prestigious clubs. With this acquisition, Premier Turfing has formally launched Premier Golf Limited, a dedicated golf contracting business that will continue delivering the same trusted expertise, craftsmanship and industry-leading standards that customers have relied upon for decades.
The existing team, specialist machinery and long‑standing technical knowledge remain fully in place, now strengthened by Premier Turfing’s investment, resources and wider capabilities.
This move builds on a relationship spanning more than twenty years, during which Premier Turfing worked alongside John Greasley as a trusted subcontractor on golf construction, drainage and renovation projects throughout the UK. Both companies developed a close partnership grounded in shared values, quality workmanship and mutual respect.
Founded by Robert and Ian Mawer, Premier Turfing has grown into one of the UK’s leading specialist sports turf contractors, delivering major projects for Premier League football clubs, elite rugby venues, championship golf courses, racecourses, schools and universities nationwide.
Ian Mawer, Managing Director of Premier Turfing and Premier Golf, said: “This wasn’t simply an acquisition – it was the natural continuation of a relationship built on trust and shared values. We knew the quality of the people, the standard of their work and the reputation they had earned throughout the golf industry.
“Premier Golf allows us to build on everything that John Greasley Limited became known for, while giving customers the additional confidence that comes from the resources, investment and wider capabilities of Premier Turfing.”
