The Builders Merchants Federation raised £12,250 for its charity partners, The Educational Frontier Trust (TEFT) and the Maddie Rose Foundation, after a special fundraising event held at JCB Golf and Country Club.
Teams of four from BMF member companies battled it out on the fairway with complimentary refreshments at the Halfway House sponsored by The Journey Consultancy. At the ninth hole, players teed up against the club professional, for ‘Beat the Pro,’ a competition sponsored by NMBS. Six players managed it. The close of play drinks and ‘rolling’ barbecue buffet was sponsored by Browns Builders Merchants and Descartes UK Systems were served.
The prize winners were:
Best team (sponsored by Heidelberg Materials): Browns Builders Merchants – Neal Myers, Jeremy Wheeler, Joe Wheeler, Paul White
Highest individual score: James Redfearn, Descartes Systems UK
Nearest pin: Gary Rosier-Taylor, Descartes Systems UK
Longest drive (sponsored by Lecico Bathrooms): Adam Reading
The prize draw included as 4-Ball at Horsley Lodge Golf Couse, a Beta 128 Assortment tool set, a bundle of Amazon vouchers, a Fortnum & Mason ‘Kir Royale’ gift set, a £50 Clubhouse Golf voucher and a Makita 18c brushless twin pack. Raffle prizes were donated by Browns Builders Merchants, EngineersMate, leading resolutions, Lecico Cathrooms, Makita and UK Plumbing Supplies.
BMF CEO John Newcomb said: “The BMF Charity Golf Day is an important fund-raiser for our charity partners which also provides opportunities to strengthen relationships across membership. Our heartiest congratulations go to all the winners and our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in the event, particularly to JCB for their generous support and for hosting us at one of the most beautiful golf courses in the UK.”
