SAN FRANCISCO, California – Dryvebox, the pioneering mobile golf simulator company, has announced its first international expansion outside of North America with a launch in the UK this summer.
With exclusive rights to the Dryvebox business throughout the UK, the team already has a number of investors including top-10 DP World Tour player Laurie Canter.
Dryvebox UK is now operational with its first unit being used by organizations including the English Premier League.
There are also exciting plans to work with The Kate and Justin Rose Foundation to provide free PGA qualified golf lessons to schools / academies, organizations, and events to broaden the appeal and access to golf for young people.
The UK team will introduce Dryvebox’s patented and innovative mobile golf experience to Europe’s largest golf market, serving professional tournaments, corporate events, golf clubs, private functions, self-serve applications and everything in between across the country.
The UK team are proud to also be building the units in the UK, with the first box already delivered and operational.
The UK expansion is led by Stephen White, Rob Dargue, and PGA Teaching Professional Pedro Lemos, bringing together expertise in golf instruction, business operations, and financial management.
“At the beginning of 2024, we reached out to the Dryvebox team to see if they had interest in coming to the UK. 18 months later, we are bringing Dryvebox’s patented and revolutionary mobile golf experience here,” said UK Co-Founder Stephen White.
“The combination of cutting-edge technology and mobility creates unprecedented opportunities to grow the game and serve both existing golfers and newcomers to the sport. We look forward to introducing this innovative platform to players, venues, and brands throughout the United Kingdom and seeing it be embraced the same way it has been in the US.
Clients can expect the same high-end, weatherproof, climate-controlled, solar-powered, patented Dryvebox mobile experience that exists throughout the US and Canada.
Golf pro Laurie Canter said: “We’ve seen recently how magic golfing moments have captured the imagination of the general public, and when the opportunity arose to become an investor in Dryvebox, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of.”
“I’d love to see golf being played by the widest possible audience, and the success of Dryvebox in the United States shows that there is an appetite for the game beyond traditional boundaries.”
Adeel Yang, Co-Founder and CEO of Dryvebox, added: “The United Kingdom represents an incredible opportunity for Dryvebox’s first European expansion.”
“Our partners bring deep knowledge of the UK golf landscape and share our vision for delivering premium, technology-forward golf experiences. We have long wondered about the potential of bringing our mobile golf simulators to the home of golf, and the exciting moment has finally arrived.”
“This year’s expansion will further validate the strong demand we are seeing for our unique approach to making golf more accessible, and we are excited for the UK golf community to embrace Dryvebox.”
