The business supplies and services industry came together for the annual Boss Business Supplies Charity Day to raise money for those in need within the industry.
On Wednesday, June 19, Boss Charity hosted its annual Charity Day at the stunning Carden Park Resort. The event was a resounding success, raising £13,000.
The day saw more than 135 attendees enjoying the sunshine, culminating in a delightful buffet dinner, along with the charity’s renowned auction, raffle, and golf prize ceremony.
The individual golf competition saw Tim Beaumont come in as runner-up, Shane Owen from Hamelin Brands winning and receiving the Tim Holmes Trophy, presented by two of Tim’s sons. The team competition was clinched by Pukka Pads, consisting of Alex Bonarius, Jess Stott, Chris Stott and Alex Winstanley, closely followed up by Avery UK’s team of Matt Hopkins, Nico Jean-Jean, Gary Fowmes and Geoff Lewin. Beat the pro was won by Gary Clark, longest drive by Tim Capper, nearest to the pin by Gray Richmond and the wooden spoon by Darryl Brunt.
Philip Wesolowski led a heartfelt remembrance for those no longer here, including Tim Holmes, Steve Bilton, Ken Trenberth, Ed Barnshaw and others, ensuring they were honoured throughout the day.
Boss Charity chair Kelly Hilleard remarked, “We had another incredible Charity Day. The weather was perfect, allowing golfers to enjoy a beautiful course, spa attendees to bask in the sunshine, and outdoor activity participants to explore the grounds on Segways.
“The charity is immensely grateful for the overwhelming support from across our industry, with many companies contributing attendees, raffle and auction prizes, and substantial sponsorship. Thanks to their generosity and the expertise of auctioneer Jason Stephen, we raised a significant amount that will enable us to assist even more families.”
