The British International Freight Association’s (BIFA) Golf Day, held at the prestigious Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa, was a resounding success.
The event saw participants from across the freight and logistics industry come together for a day of friendly competition and charity fundraising.
This year’s golf day was particularly special, as it raised an impressive £3100 for BIFA’s official charity partner, Transaid, a cause close to the hearts of many in the industry. The funds will go directly to supporting Transaid’s work, making a meaningful impact on the community in sub-Saharan Africa.
BIFA congratulates the winning team from Logicall for its outstanding performance on the course. The Logicall team, consisting of Jordan Phillips, Jon Lilley, Brendan Beech and Paul Phillips secured first place, on count-back, with an impressive score of 87 points in the foursomes competition. A team from Irish Freight Solutions came a close second.
In addition to the main tournament, the event featured several mini-challenges, including longest drive and nearest the pin competitions. These added excitement and further opportunities for participants to contribute to the fundraising efforts.
Carl Hobbis, BIFA member services director, said: “We are thrilled with the turnout and generosity shown at this year’s Golf Day; our first for many years. The event not only brought together key members of the freight forwarding community but also raised vital funds for a wonderful cause. Congratulations to our winner and a heartfelt thank you to all 72 who participated and contributed.“
Following the success of this year’s event, BIFA will expand the number of golfing events it holds in 2025, continuing the tradition of camaraderie, competition, and charity. To register your interest for an event next year, visit our events page.
