Russell Roof Tiles Golf Day Raises £5k for Charities

RUSSELL Roof Tiles (RRT) recently hosted another annual Golf Day to raise funds towards its goal of £50,000 for its charity initiative, Give 4 Good.

Close to the manufacturers’ Burton-on-Trent site, the Golf Day tournament took place at Horsley Lodge Golf Club, Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

Almost 80 players attended the event, including company employees, and individuals that work with RRT from Wheeldon Homes, Liberty Roofing, Northwest Roofing Supplies, Steadfast Roofing, Absolute Roofing Solutions, PJ Colours, Barclays, SDN Pallets, Ecopac, Kingsley Roofing, Thomas Cassie Roofing, Hodgkinson Builders, Trentside Cricket Club and Vortex.

Charity Golf Day 

On the day, participants were divided into two teams, RRT England vs RRT Rest of the World, and battled it out for the RRT Ryder Cup trophy.

RRT Rest of the World were crowned winners of the tournament and Ben Jackson and Matt Finnie from Hodgkinson Builders won the best scoring pair prize. Joe Marler and Adam O’Donnell from Trentside Cricket Club and Andrew Jones of Absolute Roofing were the other competition winners on the day.

Also at the event was Nottingham Forest and Derby County player, Henry Newton, who captained the Rest of the World team on the day and was presented the trophy by Managing Director, Andrew Hayward.

The event raised £5,000, totalling the Give 4 Good pot up to £35,000. Recipients of the fundraising initiative include charities such as Hillfield Animal Home, YMCA, and Burton & District Mind – many of which have been nominated by the staff.

The day’s organiser, Ross Hayward, Area Sales Manager at Russell Roof Tiles, said: “I would like to thank all the companies who came along supported us on the day and to those that donated. It all helps towards raising our goal of £50,000 for our Give 4 Good charity. This year, the Golf Day was a great way of being able to raise further funds and add to the pot for our chosen charities.”
