Mingay believes that an architect’s involvement across every phase of a project is crucial to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation and each job is completed on time and on budget. “Inspired by tradition and a lifelong love for golf, I’m driven by unique challenges and strive to create revolutionary courses that provide golfers with memorable experiences and my clients with a sustainable foundation for future successes,” says Mingay. “To experience a revolutionary work of golf course architecture is to journey to the near future by way of the past.” MJ Abbott Bratch Lane Dinton Salisbury Wiltshire SP3 5EB UK Contact: Steve Briggs, Contracts Director Tel: +44 1722 716361 enquiries@mjabbott.co.uk www.mjabbott.co.uk MJ Abbott is one of the golf industry’s leading contractors, offering a range of construction and support services throughout the UK and Europe.
