BEAR Scotland and a number of its key suppliers and subcontractors took to the golf course for a charity golf tournament.

This resulted in a £10,000 fundraising boost for Cash for Kids.

The 4-ball shotgun tournament got underway on a sunny September day on the Dalmahoy Country Club’s West Course on the out-skirts of Edinburgh.

The 72 players vied for individual and team glory before enjoying a BBQ, Raffle draw and charity auction hosted by Barrie Wilkins, presenter and DJ.

There were fantastic prizes up for grabs from a corporate package to see the Scotland v Denmark World Cup Qualifier at Hampden to a top of the range TAG Heuer Connected 2020 Golf Edition Titanium Smartwatch.

Iain Murray, BEAR Scotland managing director said: “It was a great day. Not only did we raise a fantastic sum for a charity that supports kids throughout the communities in which we operate, but we got a rare chance to catch up with our business partners in real life after such a long time working within the restrictions demanded by COVID.

“The support provided by our suppliers and subcontractors was fundamental in helping raise the impressive amount we did. In addition to that – it was a great day for golf!”

Victoria Hendry, Charity Manager at Cash for Kids said: “We were absolutely delighted to be the beneficiary charity of BEAR Scotland’s Golf Day 2021. To have raised £10,000 is a phenomenal effort which will support thousands of disadvantaged children around Scotland. We love working with the team at BEAR and look forward to continuing our partnership throughout the rest of the year to support those who need us most in our local communities.”

Companies that supported the event included Mallatite, GAP, HBS, Jacobs, Castle Group, Peacock Salt, Hill Smith, Keyline, Willsweep, Breedon, MGL, Tarmac, ECON, Touchstone, Rennicks, DanScot, Aggregate Industries, Highland Fuels and Class One.
