After a fantastic day of golf, a meal was enjoyed by the teams, together with presentations for the winners.
Company Director, Alistair Hayward-Wright, was delighted with the success of the event:
“This was our first charity golf day, and I have been overwhelmed by the support we have had. I want to thank all those who took part, as well as Bromsgrove Golf Centre for their help in making the day a success.”
“Raising funds for the Prince’s Trust is important to all of us at Hayward Wright. We feel passionately about everyone getting a chance to make a difference, and we will be holding many more events such as this to highlight the good work the trust does, and how much it contributes to the community,” added Alistair.
The second annual charity golf day has already been organised for next year, on May 17, also at Bromsgrove Golf Centre.
