How much can our golf club expect to save?

- Beers, Wines and Spirits

- Refuse Collection
- Washroom Services
- Catering Purchases
- Insurance
Does GMG control whom we purchase from?
You are under no obligation to use any GMG preferred suppliers. Of course, the more you trade the more you save but we do not dictate. What you will find is that every supplier we align to has national coverage and is offering a price to the group that beats any stand alone price.
How do I start to make savings?
The process begins at the outset as we will look to benchmark 6 categories of expenditure prior to joining, report back the potential savings to make the decision an easy one.
Once all of your contract information is loaded in to Contracts-Manager it will prompt you at critical dates enabling us to go to market should you wish and look to attain more competitive arrangements.
How do I order and pay for my goods?
You keep your independence. With the exception of refuse collection where we hold a broker’s licence all ordering and payment of goods and services is done by the individual golf club. All approved suppliers are informed of your inclusion by us immediately and apply discounts accordingly.
How much does it cost?
We charge an annual fee of £149 plus VAT. We guarantee that if we don't demonstrate a saving of at least three times this, we will refund your membership fee in full.
Does the golf club keep all the savings generated?
Absolutely! Our business is about making golf clubs as many savings as possible.
What if I feel my pricing is already good?
We don’t doubt that you have already negotiated fantastic prices for your golf club. Economies of scale are the reason we have been able to achieve such fantastic rates and services with our approved suppliers. These prices will become apparent during our initial chat. If you do feel you currently get the best prices, why not give us a call to make sure. It won't cost you anything!
What happens if I have a problem with any of the suppliers in the future?
If you have any concerns relating to either the pricing or service you receive from any GMG approved supplier we would encourage you to contact the GMG head office immediately. With a collective potential purchasing spend of over £50 million we do have leverage with suppliers which can benefit you in both price and service.
How do GMG generate revenue?
GMG pass on ALL of the savings established directly back to our members and receive a commission payment from the supplier. We reserve the right to charge an annual membership fee of £149, agreed at the outset.
