GOLF DAY RAISES 10K
» » NOW IN ITS 14TH YEAR,
the sun shone once again for the
Glazerite UK Group’s annual
Pro-Am Golf Day. Held on
Friday 5th July in the tranquil
surroundings of Wellingborough
Golf Club, the event was attended
by a number of the VEKA
fabricator’s customers, suppliers
and employees. In total, over
£10,000 was raised for the charity
We Mind & Kelly Matters, which
was set up by Glazerite Chairman
John Hewitt in memory of his
late daughter.
The day teed off just after 9am
with the golfers playing right
through to late afternoon. 29
Glazerite teams took part in the
event - of which seven placed in
the top 10 - and D & M Windows
& Doors’ Chris Hoolickin won
the coveted ‘Nearest the Pin’ at the
18th hole.
Following the golf, the
players’ partners and colleagues
joined in for the evening event,
where Pete Mew of Mews
Windows led the auction, with
lots including a motorbike
experience at Donington Park,
a round of golf for two at The
Belfry and a two-week holiday
home rental in Spain. Glazerite’s
Group Managing Director,
Jason Thompson, even bid £500
in exchange for one of Pete’s
legendary suits.
