It was a really good day and we certainly enjoyed ourselves despite the indifferent weather.
Greg Lambert, Group Sales Manager at Ben Johnson
Yes thanks had a great day and met some interesting people. The weather didn’t dampen our day and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Julian P. Vollans, General Manager at Noberne Group
The day was great – my golf was like a spaghetti western – the good, the bad and the ugly! But still very enjoyable despite the wind and rain – some good contact made as well so thank you.
