Furniture industry professionals from across the UK gathered in Northamptonshire for the annual National Golf Day, sponsored by Bensons for Beds, raising an impressive £5,200 in support of industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company.

This much-anticipated event, which took place on Wednesday 16 July, brought together teams from leading industry names including NEJ Stevenson Ltd, Designer Contracts, Ercol Furniture Ltd, Dreams Ltd, Burbidge & Sons Ltd, Ocee & Four Design, Bensons for Beds, Associated Independent Stores, Castelan, Biesse Group UK, and Sealy, as well as individual players.

Following breakfast, golfers competed in an 18-hole Stableford competition at Northamptonshire County Golf Club, a top 100 UK course. A two-course lunch was served after the game, followed by a prize giving ceremony.

Designer Contracts led the scoreboard, taking first place in the team competition with a total of 94 points. Their player James Gibson won first place in the individual competition with a score of 42, while teammate Neil Lloyd came second with 39 points. Bensons for Beds secured second place in the team competition.
