Gensource has collaborated with 26-year-old Wilson for this year’s season, in the process solidifying a close bond with the ex-North of Ireland Amateur Open Champion, a title he won at Royal Portrush two years ago.

Currently taking part in the Tartan Pro Tour, Wilson is the younger brother of Gensource co-founder Robert Wilson, who is himself a scratch golfer.

With their dad Peter Wilson running his own well-established plumbing and heating business, the brothers were soon merging their golf skills with learning the trade. 

Matty continued his development as a renewables installer outside the golf season, with the colder months seeing him working on solar panel installations.

Robert, who set up the company with Josh King in December 2022 with the aim of providing turnkey sustainable energy solutions, said: “For the past couple of winters when the Scottish golf season has finished, Matty has been employed by Gensource as a renewables installer, working in one of our in-house installation teams.

“This has been a great fit for both parties, with the timing of the Scottish golf season meaning he can provide additional capacity to our installation teams when daylight hours are low and poor weather often slows our works, meaning the company’s output across the winter months is bolstered by the extra capacity. 

“It feels incredible to have now built the company in a short space of time into a position where sponsorship of my brother is possible. To have come full circle like this is a proud moment not only for the family but the business as well. I’d like to thank my fellow directors for being on board with supporting him not only as a Gensource employee, but as a professional golfer.”

Matty, who plans to participate in the DP World Tour Q School later this year, said: “Working on the tools with my dad helped give me a grounding in the construction/renewables sectors.

“It’s great having that knowledge and skillset, and that allows me to work for Gensource as a qualified installer when I’m not playing competitive golf.

“Robert and the team have done a brilliant job in building up the business and I’m really appreciative of their support.”
