Earlier Work: ADEO Group

Scottish Junior Golf

Head of Technology, ADEO Group ยท 2009โ€“2020

The Project

One system, every
golf club in Scotland

This project was delivered while working as Head of Technology at ADEO Group, a Glasgow digital agency. It is not Born Creative project work.

The brief was to give every golf club in Scotland a way to run its own junior training programmes and competitions, on shared infrastructure rather than dozens of separate sites. I owned the specification, architecture and code.

The complexity was less about traffic and more about structure: each club needed to manage its own programmes independently, while sitting on one platform.

Key Deliverables

01

National Multi-Tenant Platform

A single WordPress platform serving every golf club in Scotland, rather than a one-off site for a single organisation.

02

Independent Club Management

Each club runs its own junior training programmes and competitions within the platform, without needing separate installs or oversight from the others.

03

Programme & Competition Tools

Purpose-built functionality for scheduling and running junior training and competition entries, used across the whole club network.

Our Approach

Multi-tenant complexity, not raw traffic

The technical challenge here wasn't scale in the traffic sense, it was structure: giving dozens of independent clubs their own space to manage programmes, while keeping the whole thing on one maintainable codebase rather than a site per club.

That meant designing permissions, data separation and content structures carefully at the outset, since retrofitting multi-tenancy onto a single-club WordPress site after the fact would have meant a rebuild.
