Edgetech, a Quanex company, is pleased to report another successful golf day at Staverton Park. As well as having a day of beautiful sunshine for the golfers, we were thrilled to be able to help the newly established Realize Trust by raising over £5000 at the charity raffle we held during the evening’s entertainment, says Alan Fielder, Director of Sales and Marketing at Edgetech. We want to say a big thank you to all of our customers and friends in the industry who dug deep for this important charity. Edgetech often does its bit for various charities, both local and national, but Realize Trust caught the attention of everyone in the room and the generosity was simply fantastic. Established by Andy and Agnes Gwynn of Super Spacer Dealership Crystal Clear South West, Realize Trust was set up in memory of their 14 year old daughter Courtney, who tragically took her own life in January of this year. The charity aims to raise awareness of teenage suicide among parents but also among teenagers themselves, in a way they understand. It was wonderful to see everyone in the room pull together to make such a large donation to a new charity and we wish Realize Trust every success with its important efforts.

The golf day itself was a success with a good time being reported by all. The team that won the event was made up of Richard Oakes from Oakland Glass, Mick Madigan from Quickslide, Mark Cerrone from Synseal and Nigel Palmer from Systems Glass. James Keeling from Senior Architectural Systems also saw success by winning 1st place in the individual awards. Although the aim of the golf day is to have fun, it was established last year to give our customers and partners in the industry a networking opportunity. The feedback we had this year suggested this was appreciated again this year. The fact that we could use the event as an opportunity to raise money for such a worthwhile charity as well was just fantastic.
