Testimonials

 

Club General Manager, Metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia -

 

During 2011 the Club engaged JBAS to conduct a review of the Club’s operations and undertake a member satisfaction survey. The research conducted by JBAS and the presentation to the Board were comprehensive and thorough. It has provided the Board of Management with valuable information that has allowed them to make decisions that will provide both immediate and long term benefits. Jeff’s knowledge of the golf industry is second to none and he maintained the highest professionalism throughout this project. I would have no hesitation in recommending JBAS to any golf club or industry body.

 

Club General Manager, Metropolitan Brisbane, Queensland -

 

Our Club recently utilised JBAS’s skills and experience in marketing, communication and surveying.  The Board needed to ensure that the details of our proposed project could be communicated in a manner that would provide our Members with every opportunity to identify the benefits of such a project.  A simple yet vital survey was then conducted to identify the degree of support for this project.  The integrity of this survey was paramount and Mr Blunden’s professionalism and advice was of great value. I am pleased to recommend JBAS to other Clubs requiring the external assistance of an industry professional.

General Manager, Gold Coast, Queensland -

Jeff Blunden's knowledge of the golfing industry both in terms of private clubs, resort golf and public play is comprehensive. Jeff has played a vital role in drafting up the prospectus which will take our Club from public to private and he will be a key partner throughout that transition.

Judge J McClellan, Land and Environment Court of NSW -

The contrast between the level of knowledge and detailed assessment of Mr A*** and that of Mr Blunden, who was called by the respondent, was significant. I prefer the evidence of Mr Blunden.
