Henshalls are celebrating after winning a charity golf challenge named in memory of a much-loved former colleague.
The team took on Throgmorton Associates Wealth Management to compete for The Bryan Cutter Cup at Shrewsbury Golf Club.
And this year, it was the Henshalls team that was victorious bringing home the cup that’s named for Bryan Cutter – who was a director of the firm who died after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Throgmorton Associates covered the costs of the event and Henshalls donated £250 to Severn Hospice in Bryan’s memory on behalf of everyone taking part.
Martin Pitchford, for Henshalls, said: “Initially rain stopped play so we had to reschedule the event for a better day, but once we had clearer weather, the event was a fantastic success.
“The Bryan Cutter Cup is a wonderful way to honour Bryan’s life and his memory and it has now become an annual event that we all look forward to and which creates some really positive friendly rivalry.
“We’d like to thank everyone who took part this year, and we’re delighted to have pipped the Throgmorton Associates to the post by just a single point in the end.
“The day was played in great spirit with lots of laughs and banter, and we’d like to think that Bryan was looking down on us as we brought his cup home for the first time ever.”
Nick Jones, from Throgmorton Associates, said: “It’s always a pleasure to join our friends from Henshalls for such an enjoyable and positive day.
“We were disappointed to have missed out on a hat-trick of wins as we had won both the previous challenges, but we’ll be back stronger and well-prepared for next year and determined to get our hands back on the cup.”
