Emma Whitlock,
County Development
Officer

Martin Jennings,
Business
Development
Manager

Emma Whitlock is the Hertfordshire
Golf Partnership’s County
Development Officer. Emma works
on developing the game of golf in
the County by assisting golf clubs
and organisations in bringing more
people into the game.
She has gained seven years’
experience in the golf industry,
ranging from England Golf
volunteering, events organisation,
golf club admin, and
membership enquiries to golf
coaching and marketing.

For over 15 years in the lighting
industry I have been responsible
for supplying many millions of light
bulbs sharing great knowledge
and technical know-how across all
market sectors. I especially enjoy
meeting clients where I advise not
only great light bulb savings but
offering viable recommendations
for lamp & lighting improvement.

“One of my
focuses will be
working with
businesses to bring
golf into the
workplace...”
Emma said: “Hertfordshire is going
from strength to strength, and I am
looking forward to working on
developing the game even
further. One of my focuses will be
working with businesses to bring
golf into the workplace and
supporting the national ‘Get Into
Golf’ initiative.”

“I especially enjoy
meeting clients to
offer viable
recommendations
for lamp & lighting
improvement.”
I enjoy the satisfaction from clients
taking the time to understand a bit
more detail about their lighting
and buying into demonstrated
savings that often are simple to
achieve. If you feel your lighting at
home or work could be improved
feel free to contact me for a chat.
