Members, employees and customers from across the network came together at the prestigious Breadsall Priory Country Club in Derbyshire on one of the hottest days of the year for the annual Pall-Ex Group golf day.

Located on the edge of the Peak District overlooking the picturesque countryside, the Breadsall Priory Country Club Championship course is considered world-class, providing a challenging game for our 18 teams.
The headline sponsor for the 2025 golf day was Marshall Motor Group, who brought along a number of their cars to display for the golfers. We would like to say a huge thank you to Marshall and our other sponsors, Trailer Resources Limited and Service Express for their support.

The day kicked off with breakfast on arrival, followed by a trick shot demonstration from Geoff Swain, a former World Golf Trick Shot Champion. With 2025 being his third appearance at the Pall-Ex Group golf day, his stunts are always a hit with the crowd.

The golfers then got ready to tee off shotgun style in the glorious sunshine, with awards up for grabs for the top three teams, individual winner, Beat the Pro, Longest Drive, Nearest to the Pin and the Charity Red Ball Award.
Over £2870 was raised on behalf of our long-standing charity partner, Combat Stress, thanks to a generous donation from one of our partners, Optimize, the Charity Red Ball Competition and a prize raffle held in the evening. Simon West, Lead Peer Support Coordinator at Combat Stress, was in attendance at the golf day to share how the charity supports veterans and their mental health.
Prixes for the evening were donated by Barcode Warehouse and Barberry Industrial, who will be working with Pall-Ex on the development of its new group HQ.
The golf day finished with a three-course dinner in The Pavillion and an awards presentation to celebrate the winners, with the team in first place scoring a fantastic 93 points.
