Why Sponsor Us? 📑
We’re currently looking for more brands and businesses to sponsor International Greenkeepers For Hire, and we’d like to showcase some of the reasons why you should consider sponsoring us.
We understand that sponsorships aren’t a one-way relationship. Both parties have to benefit from the agreement, and we’ve worked hard to develop an abundance of benefits and opportunities for the companies that sponsor IGFH.
About International Greenkeepers For Hire 🧾
If you’re reading this, you probably already know a little about who we are and what we do. But here’s a quick recap for anyone who may need it. International Greenkeepers For Hire (IGFH) is the only international hub for every greenkeeper, groundsperson, and turf manager at all career levels and in all positions. We’re founded by a team of passionate greenkeepers, with the aim of promoting the industry and sharing free resources to teach and inspire the next generation of turf professionals.
We’re funded by sponsorships, which enable us to provide training, education, international scholarships, and much more, entirely for free, for our growing membership base. Our current sponsors help us to offer more opportunities and continue to provide free educational resources to our members. The more sponsors we have, the more of this we can provide!

How Do Sponsorships Help Us? 🥅
Since accepting sponsorships from our first few sponsors, we have already been able to expand our offering and provide several exciting opportunities for our members. Here are a few examples of how we have used our sponsorship funding in the past year:
An Internship In Scotland:
We organized an IGFH experience between international greenkeeper Yon Yoeun and hiring manager James Swanson at Cullen Links, based in Moray Firth, Scotland. Yon, a Danish greenkeeping student at Roskilde Technical VET College, worked for four weeks at the scenic 18-hole golf course and said that the experience “enriched my life”.
Careers Events And Trade Shows:
Our sponsorship funding has also enabled us to attend numerous exciting careers events and trade shows, including Western Sydney Careers Market, the Lackham Careers And Trade Show, the Hawkesbury Show, and the Coleg Cambria Sustainability Event. Attending these events helps us to network with other like-minded professionals and spread the word about what we do, and supports our mission to encourage new people to join the industry.
Inspiring Members To Pursue International Careers:
Taking on several sponsors allowed Bradley Tennant, one of our founding members, to quit his day job and work on growing IGFH and communicating our message to a wider audience. We’ve inspired many of our members to pursue international careers, including Albert, who joined the International Greenkeepers Facebook group and became inspired to move from his home in South Africa to pursue a greenkeeping job in New Zealand.
