Premium golf apparel brand Galvin Green has appointed a new sales representative in the New York Metropolitan section and Mid-Atlantic territory as part of an effort to drive business across a key US region known for its high concentration of high-end private golf and country clubs.
Matt Leemhuis, who becomes the brand’s first full time sales representative in the United States, brings more than 13 years of sales experience to the role. The last 11 of these were spent with Nike Golf, where he managed top green grass and strategic regional accounts before working with the Jordan Brand and most recently, in footwear and accessories sales.
Leemhuis will meet with retailers to present Galvin Green’s latest golf apparel lines, as well as presenting key brand storylines and sales initiatives designed to drive sell-through.
“I’m honored to represent such an iconic golf brand as Galvin Green, renowned for its award-winning heritage of innovation and its market-leading commitment to sustainability,” Leemhuis said. “I look forward to strengthening my relationships with top venues across the Met Section and Mid-Atlantic regions, while continuing to showcase why Galvin Green stands as the premier choice for retailers – offering the highest-performing golf apparel crafted from the most responsibly sourced materials.”
Commenting on Leemhuis’s hiring, Lou Delfino, General Manager of Galvin Green in North America, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Matt as our first full-time sales representative in the US at a very exciting time of growth for the brand in North America. He brings a high level of experience to our team and is eager to showcase the best golf apparel that money can buy to some of the most premium venues that align with our brand.”
The Part Two range Leemhuis will be presenting contains the multi-material DRYVR rainwear collection, INTERFACE-1 windproof garments, INSULA sweaters crafted using sustainable bluesign approved materials, more highly breathable shirts in the VENTIL8 PLUS fabric with UV 20+ protection, plus thermal vests and leggings, and matching accessories, including snoods and hats.
