The Conservatory Outlet team welcomed members of the organisation’s Premium Retail Network to North Lanarkshire for the firm’s annual golf day, on Thursday 18 May. The event is one of the most respected competitions in the calendar, the business’ representative has reported, adding that as the event is now in its 10th iteration, it is one of the longest running too.
Held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood, the tournament saw entrants from across the UK vie for both team and individual honours. “This year marked the first time that we’ve taken our annual Golf Open north of the border,” explained Greg Kane, CEO of Conservatory Outlet. “It was fantastic to see such a healthy representation from our Scottish premium retailers.
“With it being the tenth time we’ve run competition, we felt it was only right to head to the ‘home of golf’ to celebrate. Our annual Network Golf Open is a much-loved event that everyone in the Conservatory Outlet Network looks forward to. It also allows our Premium Retail partners to come together for a competitive round of golf and discuss strategies with other like-minded businesses. It really does show the collective strength of our network.”
The weather provided a mix of clouds and sunshine, with the local course pro describing the temperature as ‘Scottish warm’. Throw in a blustery wind and the course, designed by Seve Ballesteros, played tough.
But those conditions didn’t deter the Amber Home Improvements team, who secured the overall team prize, seeing off strong competition. Justin Brown of Bon Accord triumphed in the Nearest the Pin competition whilst Steve Ormand of DigitalKOG took the honours for the day’s longest drive.
“Huge congratulations to Amber,” added Greg Kane. “They have been stalwarts of this competition for years, and they’ve long been overdue a victory. Importantly, it gives them network-wide bragging rights for the next 12 months.”
“We’re thrilled to have won the Conservatory Outlet Network Golf Open Day,” said Paul Edwards, Amber Home Improvements’ sales director. “It’s always a fantastic event, and this year’s competition was no different.
“A huge thank you to Conservatory Outlet for organising another enjoyable day. We’re already looking forward to defending our crown next year!”
