We welcomed the sunshine along with 136 guests to our annual Pro-AM golf day on Friday 7th July. The sweltering day at Wellingborough Golf Club didn't put our guests off their game however, with the hotly contested event also raising thousands of pounds for the Kelly's Heroes charity.
A host of Glazerite customers, suppliers and employees joined in the event, now in its 17th year, which raised an incredible £12,000 for Kelly's Heroes. The mental health charity, previously known as We Mind & Kelly Matters, was set up by former chairman John Hewitt following the death of his daughter in 2018.
Winners on the day were Symphony Winodws, with Mews Windows in second place. VEKA Plan UK finished in third, with VEKA Group owners Elke and Andreas Hartleif flying over from Germany to join their UK counterparts and Glazerite for the day. The event, which was praised by attendees as the best yet, saw 34 teams of 136 golfers take part as well as compete in the 'Nearest the Pin' and 'Longest Drive' challenges.
Alongside our customers, suppliers including VEKA, Avantis, Brisant, Haffner and Masterframe took part, while DoorCo and Window Ware supported with sponsorship. Peter Mews of Mews Windows conducted the evening's fundraising auction, which saw some incredble prizes, including a Tiger Woods Commemorative Plaque and an Ian Poulter Ryder Cup signed print up for grabs.
