Peter Millar – Voted Apparel Supplier of the Year title at annual TGI Golf Awards

February 12, 2019 – Luxury golf lifestyle brand, Peter Millar enjoyed a stellar evening at the recent TGI Golf annual awards dinner, capturing the 2018 ‘Apparel Supplier of the Year’ award in recognition of its outstanding apparel range and impeccable customer service.

Held at the prestigious Trump Turnberry Resort, TGI Golf’s supplier awards are voted for by the group’s 500 plus partners across the UK & Ireland through its supplier survey, where brands are rated in a number of different categories.

Peter Millar was also nominated in the coveted ‘Supplier of the Year’ category. This is, in itself, an impressive achievement when considering the brand’s selective distribution within the group, compared to the leading hardware brands.

Mark Hilton, Peter Millar’s International Managing Director commented, “We are incredibly proud to have won this award as it recognises what was a very prosperous year for the brand, as well as the hard work and passion that resonates through our entire team.”

“This is the second time we have claimed this award and we’d like to thank all of the TGI Golf partners who voted for us. We are committed to enhancing our product range and renowned customer service in the years to come and, of course, retaining our title in 2019.”

Founded in 2001, the Peter Millar line of golf lifestyle clothing and accessories has become, in just a few years, the standard bearer for discerning and demanding individuals on the golf course, in the office and on the town. The Peter Millar product line embraces timeless style with a modern flair and a keen attention to detail, emphasising bright colours, bold interpretations of classic patterns and luxury fabrications from some of the finest mills in the world.

Eddie Reid, TGI Golf Managing Director, said: “Every one of TGI Golf’s Supplier Awards is voted for by the Partners via our annual Supplier Survey, which gives added gravitas to the winners. Each supplier is scored by its stockists on a number of categories ranging from product quality and customer service to delivery times and returns policy.

“Peter Millar once again scored tremendously well across the board with its long-standing commitment to product quality and customer service giving the retailer real confidence in the brand and this was reflected by Peter Millar being crowned Apparel Supplier of the Year.”

October 29, 2014 – The PGAs of Europe have signed a new three-year Corporate Partnership with fine clothing and accessory brand, Peter Millar, sealing the deal at the 2014 Ryder Cup matches at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland, where the brand were an Official Clothing Licensee.

Founded in 2001, the Peter Millar line of fine clothing and accessories has become the standard bearer for discerning and demanding individuals on and off the golf course. As the brand continues its global growth, the partnership with the PGAs of Europe will allow them to further progress onto the continent:

“It’s a really important relationship for us because of this expansion into Europe,” explained Peter Millar’s Managing Director, International, Brian Dillman. “We’ve always been a grass roots-based company as well so working with the PGAs of Europe and the local golf pros is really going to help us expand.”

“The challenge is brand awareness and very simply the business was developed in the US and UK & Ireland through great product, great people, great delivery and great relationships with PGA golf professionals. We’re going to follow the same model in continental Europe… so the PGAs of Europe is a great place to start.”

For the PGAs of Europe, the partnership with Peter Millar is just one of the new additions to the Association’s Corporate Partner roster that reflect the renewed strategy moving forward and the brand’s positioning:

“The timing could not be better to be joining forces with Peter Millar as they continue their success story into continental Europe,” said PGAs of Europe Chief Executive, Ian Randell.

“Peter Millar is one of the fastest growing lifestyle brands worldwide producing classic on- and off-course clothing with a modern approach.  This very much mirrors our philosophy of promoting the traditions and etiquette of golf whilst ensuring that we are modern, forward-thinking and engaging to today’s society.  I am sure that our Member PGAs and their PGA Professionals will enjoy the benefits of this exciting new partnership.”

The partnership not only coincides with refreshed strategic elements from the PGAs of Europe but also with Peter Millar’s strategic movement into Europe, introducing a new European fit – the Contemporary Fit –  for what is a different market to their norm.

“We’re really quite excited about it, with the new Contemporary Fit we feel it fits into the European mould on sizing,” said Bob Smith, Peter Millar’s Senior Managing Director. “The partnership with the PGAs of Europe will be very important for the Contemporary Fit as we respect their organisation and members enormously.”

Peter Millar were also on site at the 2014 Ryder Cup Matches as an Official Clothing Licensee, having provided clothing for match officials and staff members, whilst also being present in the Spectator’s Village Merchandise Tent:

“Being at the Ryder Cup has been just phenomenal,” said Brian Dillman. “People can touch and see our product, feel the quality, and see why there’s a difference…which is why we’ve supplied some officials’ and some of the Board members’ clothing to make sure people can try our products to really get a feel for who we are and what we are all about.”
