UK-based golf environmental consultancy Johns Associates is expanding. 

Johns, which specialises in providing assessment services for the Golf Environment Organization’s certification scheme, has hired chartered environmentalist Sean Flynn, previously with Halcrow and Hyder Consuluting, as a senior ecologist.

“This is a fantastic start to 2012 for us,” said director Matt Johns. “We have been recruiting over the last few months in response to the increasing amount of business we have been winning.”
