A Swinging Success: The Smiths Hire 2025 Pro Golf Tournament

We recently hosted our annual golf day and we enjoyed 18 superb holes at The Mere Golf Resort in Cheshire – the weather gods were in our favour so everyone had a great day of golf and networking!

Smiths Hire Golf Event

The Smiths Hire 2025 Pro Golf Tournament proved to be a spectacular day of sport, sunshine, and celebration.

Held at the stunning Mere Golf Resort & Spa, the event brought together 18 teams of customers and suppliers for a memorable experience of top-tier professional golf.

With the weather on our side, the sun shone brightly from the first tee-off to the final putt, adding to the atmosphere of camaraderie and competition. Highlights of the day included the longest drive, nearest the pin, and the ever-popular “Beat the Pro” hole—all of which tested the skills (and nerves!) of even our most seasoned players.

Unfortunately, there was no winner on our Hole in One prize hole, the £10,000 cash prize which was kindly sponsored by our friends at Tower Insurance went unclaimed. 

A big thanks to Tom Lawton, Head of Golf at The Mere as well as his team and the grounds team too for keeping the course to the highest standard. Working alongside such a talented and committed team was both a privilege and a pleasure —we couldn’t have done it without you. 

A special thank you must go to our outstanding Smiths Hire sales and marketing team—David Turner, Leigh Walker, Katie Patchett-Field, Ethan Strudwick, Sean McGow, Ben Reeves, and Michael Kelly—whose hard work and hospitality made the event a resounding success. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication to creating an exceptional guest experience did not go unnoticed.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back for an even bigger and better event in 2026!
