Thank you to all of our incredible sponsors.

Our O’Brien Charitable Trust Golf Day 2026 is fast approaching, and we’re proud to be supported by so many businesses who share our commitment to giving back locally.

On the 3rd July at Leamington County Golf Club, we'll be coming together for a day that’s about much more than golf. It’s about supporting people in our community who need it most, and every sponsor, player, and supporter plays a part in making that possible.

A huge thank you to our 18 hole sponsors for helping us make a real difference:

Marshalls, Howden Insurance, Keyline, Tracey Concrete, Mick George, Titan, Breedon, Day Group, FGD, EH Smith, Tarmac, SDC, Westgate Civils, Burdens, RS Surveys, Bernhards, D-Drill, Midland Rock

We can’t wait to see everyone there and make this year’s event our most impactful yet.

Congratulations and best of luck to all the finalists, we look forward to seeing you there.

A marvellous job at Telford Junior School!🏫

Giving back to our local community is one of our most important values, and last month this meant spending the day at Telford Infant School to help with a playground makeover!🏫

We got our hands muddy upgrading planters, trimming back foliage and removing old pieces of wood that were no longer needed.

We're so proud of our team for giving up their sunny weekend to support the local community, the school looks fantastic and everyone is very pleased with their work!

Take a look at some behind the scenes pictures from the day!👇

Celebrating Earth Day 2026 at Chesterfield Canal!🌍

Helping to keep one of the Midlands' most historic waterways at its best...🚣‍♂️

This week, we took part in a litter pick along the historic Chesterfield Canal, which runs for around 46 miles from Chesterfield to West Stockwith and an important part of the wider Midlands community we operate in. 🚣‍♂️

Supporting a site with such strong regional and engineering heritage is a natural fit for us, and keeping the canal clean through litter picking is a simple hands-on way we can help preserve its history, while investing our time back into the places that shape our region. 🤝

It’s a brilliant segment showcasing the progress being made and the collaboration behind the project. 🤩
