The BMF (Builders Merchants Federation) has raised £12,250 for its charity partners, The Educational Frontier Trust (TEFT) and the Maddie Rose Foundation, after a special fundraising event held at JCB Golf and Country Club.
Teams of four from BMF member companies battled it out on the fairway with prizes awarded at an end-of-day presentation including raffle and barbecue.
The event started with breakfast and players enjoyed complimentary refreshments at the Halfway House sponsored by The Journey Consultancy.
At the ninth hole, players teed up against the club professional, for ‘Beat the Pro,’ sponsored by NMBS, with six of them emerging victorious.
At the close of play, participants a complimentary drink and ‘rolling’ barbecue buffet sponsored by Browns Builders Merchants and Descartes UK Systems were served.
