Systems company Deceuninck UK and hardware distributor VBH hosted their seventh annual Golf Day in July, returning to Bowood Golf Resort, Wiltshire. By the end of the day, billed as ‘the first major industry social and networking event in more than 12 months’, just five points separated the top three teams.
First place honours went to Bristol Windows, which finished with 85 points, three ahead of the second-placed team, Window Warehouse, and M and S Windows, on 82. Coming home in third place was Garrard Windows, with a final tally of 80 points.
The prize for the ‘Nearest the Pin’ competition was claimed by Matt Kelly of Bill Butters Windows, with the trophy for Longest Drive going to Window Warehouse team member, Dan Reader. The day concluded with a dinner, prize giving and evening drinks at the Bowood.
Chris Jones, Deceuninck’s sales director, said: “It was absolutely fantastic to be able to get together with friends, colleagues and our co-hosts VBH for this year’s annual golf day. After being forced to cancel last year, and following an exceptionally challenging period for us all, it was a real treat to be able to get together with friends and colleagues to enjoy the outstanding Bowood course once again.”
Simon Monks, VBH’s managing director, added: “Everyone has been under a huge amount of pressure since the start of the first lockdown in March last year, so we were delighted to be able to finally co-host the seventh annual Golf Day alongside Deceuninck. The Bowood Resort is a world-class venue and the perfect setting for what is now an established and highly anticipated event on the industry calendar.”
