Vertas Group Charity Golf Day a success raising £3,035 for Cancer Research

Vertas Group’s annual Charity Golf Day made a triumphant return this year, as colleagues and supply chain partners came together for a day of friendly competition and fundraising.

The Group’s Charity Golf Day took place on Thursday, 26^th September, as the company came together to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. The event, a great success in previous years, was no different this year, raising £3,035 for its chosen charity.

Hosted by Ian Surtees MBA FloD, Vertas Group’s Chief Executive Officer, the event saw 14 teams take to the 18-hole Gainsborough Course at Stoke by Nayland Resort.

Each team consisted of four players from 10 local and national businesses, all playing for a selection of prizes graciously donated by local companies. Prizes included a Lavazza Coffee machine, Zanussi vacuum cleaner, and a meal for two at Milsoms Kesgrave.

The competition saw teams starting simultaneously from different holes across the course, featuring four lakes and some tricky terrain.

This year, Vertas Group was delighted to have the support of the following sponsors: McCain Foods, Bidfood, BCS, Concertus, Alliance, Dalkia, Sackers, and Britvic. Without the support of our generous sponsors, the day wouldn’t have been possible. So, the Group would like to say a big thank you to the companies who attended the day.
