Alistair Dunsmuir
Having graduated from the University of Southampton with a 2:1 degree in Modern History and Politics with Philosophy in the 1990s, Alistair undertook postgraduate NCTJ training and, as a freelance journalist, saw a number of his articles printed in publications such as the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, Red Pepper and on the BBC.
In 2000 he was appointed as editor of Local Government News and over the next three years interviewed the likes of Ken Livingstone, Mo Mowlam and Charles Kennedy. In 2003 he moved to financial institution Aon as a senior corporate journalist.
In 2005 Alistair became only the eighth person to edit Golf Club Management, the official journal of the Golf Club Managers’ Association since 1935. Since then he has worked with hundreds of golf club managers, professional golfers, industry suppliers and experts to report on trends, threats and opportunities to golf clubs.
In 2007 his company bought the market-leading Greenkeeping, which Alistair also now edits, meaning his two magazines are read by approximately 14,000 people who work in golf; far higher than any other golf trade media group in the UK.
Elsewhere, Alistair is the director of a housing body that looks after 132 properties in south London and is a wildlife campaigner, having taken care of a number of rescue animals over the years, and even worked with Queen guitarist Brian May on his ‘Save Me’ campaign.
