DRIVING TOWARDS £ 35,000- ANOTHER WINNING DAY ON THE FAIRWAYS

Clearview & Pro Installer’ s fifth annual Charity Golf Day delivers another fantastic industry get-together
The fifth annual Clearview & Pro Installer Charity Golf Day once again proved why it has become one of the glazing industry’ s favourite events, with another fantastic day at Hickleton Golf Club raising funds for Hope House Children’ s Hospices and taking the event’ s five-year total to almost £ 35,000.
Despite a lively breeze keeping players on their toes throughout the day, spirits remained high as 18 teams from across the industry came together for a brilliant mix of golf, networking, friendly competition and fundraising.
From the traditional breakfast butties ahead of the shotgun start to the well-earned pie and chips back in the clubhouse, the event delivered all the ingredients that have made it such a popular date in the industry calendar.
The course provided plenty of challenges, with the wind adding an extra test for players, but it certainly didn’ t dampen the enthusiasm. Teams battled it out across 18 holes, while also taking part in the ever-popular oncourse challenges, including longest drive, nearest the pin and Beat the Pro.
When the final scores were counted, Bison Trade Frames came out on top to claim the 2026 team title, with HOPPE UK finishing runners-up and Endurance Doors taking third place.

Following the golf, players headed back to the clubhouse for the prize presentation, raffle and auction. Once again, the generosity of everyone involved helped make the evening a huge success, with donated prizes and auction lots helping raise vital funds for Hope House Children’ s Hospices.
The continued support from players, sponsors
and industry partners has helped the Clearview & Pro Installer Charity Golf Day become much more than just a round of golf. It has become an opportunity for the industry to come together, reconnect and make a real difference for a worthwhile cause.
Steve Sidebottom, Clearview director and event organiser, said:
“ It’ s hard to believe we’ ve now reached our fifth annual golf day. What started as an idea to bring the industry together has grown into something really special, and we’ re incredibly proud of what everyone has helped us achieve.
“ The best part of the day is seeing so many familiar faces returning each year, alongside new companies joining us and getting involved for the first time. The competition on the course is always great fun, but the real winner is the money we raise for Hope House Children’ s Hospices.
“ To have raised almost £ 35,000 over five years is a fantastic achievement, and that is down to every player, sponsor, prize donor and supporter who has contributed. A huge thank you to everyone who made this year’ s event such a success – we’ re already looking forward to what comes next.”
