On September 20, industry professionals and Icopal staff gathered at the Woburn Golf Club near Milton Keynes for the manufacturer’s annual golf day which included the chance to win a BMW Convertible. The day also raised over £700 to help support The Christie Hospital in Manchester.
This year, Icopal says it welcomed more than 90 guests. While there was a host of prizes to be won, the focus of the day was the prospect of winning the BMW 4 Series M Convertible worth £42,000. Participants needed to sink a hole-in-one on either the Marquess’ 17th or the Duke’s 9th hole to win the prize.
Although the hole-in-one proved elusive on the day, some high-quality golf was demonstrated in the individual competition. The tournament’s overall winner was Paul Alston from John Cobb Consulting who received the Icopal Trophy and also scooped a £150 American Golf voucher as the Duke’s course winner. On the Marquess course, it was Gary Vaughan who won the top prize. Furthermore, £50 American Golf vouchers went to both Mark Skelly of Owen Ellis Architects, and Gian-Franco Cencelli from Fornacelli Developments as winners of the longest drive award on the Duke’s and Marquess courses respectively.
A total of £720 was raised for the Christie Charitable Fund and the money will help support the vital cancer research and specialist patient care services of The Christie Hospital in Manchester.
Simon Woods, sales director at Icopal, commented: “This event, which is now becoming an annual tradition, provides a great opportunity to bring our clients and team together outside of the working environment. Sharing a round of golf is a good chance to get to know people better and an ideal way to say thank you to a few of the people who have helped make the past year a success.
“It’s been a truly successful event and with demand increasing every time, next year’s will be even bigger. Although no one won the big prize this year I know people will be honing their game to try and take it next year.”
