Fernox recently held its annual charity golf day at Warwickshire’s Draycote Hotel and Golf Course, where customers, suppliers and partners joined Fernox in raising £6,356 for Shooting Star Chase.
Now into its ninth year, the event brings the total charity contribution from the Fernox golf days alone to over £81,850.
This year’s Fernox Charity Golf Day welcomed over 70 heating and plumbing industry professionals to the fairways and greens, to raise money for Shooting Star Chase, a leading children’s hospice charity that provides care to babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, within London and Surrey.
The event included mini competitions during the day, with players having the chance to try their luck and ‘Beat the Pro’ on the 16th hole.
Colin Willis claimed first place in the overall singles competition and Sarah Bailey won the individual ‘Nearest the Pin’ event. This was followed by the golfers enjoying a luxury three-course meal, whilst continuing to give generously to the raffle and auction, capping off an incredible day of fundraising.
Andy Glaister, National Accounts Manager at Fernox, spoke of his delight at the day’s success: “We are thrilled with the success of this year’s charity golf day.
“Fernox is very proud and grateful that, nine years on, we continue to receive the valued support of Fernox friends and partners, who donate their time and money to help raise vital funds for such a worthy charity.”
