PowaKaddy, the electric golf trolley brand, has been acquired from its current owners by a group of private investors, led by British entrepreneur Aaron Collins, marking an exciting new chapter for the business.

With a heritage spanning more than 40 years, PowaKaddy has built a strong position within the golf industry through its reputation for product innovation, quality and longstanding customer relationships. Current owners David Catford and John deGraft-Johnson will remain involved during a transition period, with Collins expected to take over as full-time Chief Executive Officer from early 2027. The remainder of the management team, including Sales Director Graeme Wigham and Design & Innovation Director Matt Watt, will remain with the business, providing seamless continuity for customers and trade partners.

Collins and the team plan to build on PowaKaddy’s existing strengths while exploring opportunities to develop the business further in the UK and internationally.

Commenting on the acquisition, Collins said: “David and John have built PowaKaddy into a leading business in its categories, supported by a strong brand, a reputation for innovation and an experienced team. These were key factors in my decision to acquire the business.

“My focus will be on building upon these foundations, maintaining the values that have underpinned PowaKaddy’s success and identifying opportunities for future development. Our colleagues, customers and trade partners will remain central to our decision-making, and I am excited about what we can achieve together” he added.

The acquisition will not affect day-to-day operations, with PowaKaddy continuing to serve its customers and trade partners as normal throughout the transition.

Catford said: “I am proud of the business we have built at PowaKaddy and the team that has contributed to its success over the years. Our focus has always been on developing products that help golfers get the most from their game, while building strong relationships across the industry.

“Finding the right buyer was very important to John and me. We wanted someone who recognised the value of the brand, understood the contribution of our people and shared our commitment to the business and its customers. We are pleased to have found that in Aaron and will support him and the team through the transition.”
