Last month, furniture industry colleagues from around the UK took part in the National Golf Day, The Furniture Makers’ Company’s longest-running charity event, sponsored by Bensons for Beds.
Almost 50 golfers took part in the tournament at the Northamptonshire County Golf Club – ranked in the UK’s top 100 courses – on Wednesday 24th July.
The day started with breakfast which was followed by an 18-hole Stableford competition. After a day of play, competitors sat down to a two-course lunch, with the day culminating with a prize-giving ceremony, charity auction and raffle.
The event raised a total of £7663 for the charity.
The winners of the competition were: team winner – Ocee & Four Design; team runner-up – NEJ Stevenson; individual winner – Martin Flowers; and runner-up – Jim Sutherland.
The Furniture Makers’ Company is grateful to the companies and individuals that sponsored the event – Bensons for Beds, Jay-Be, Ocee & Four Design, NEJ Stevenson and Crofts & Assinder.
Brian Ahern, master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, says: “I would like to say a wholehearted thank you to the golfers and our generous sponsors, especially our main event sponsor Bensons for Beds, who helped make this event a great success. We are delighted that just over £7600 has been raised for the charity.”
