Golf’s a breeze at Oceanair event

UK: Air conditioning contractor teams from Hull-based Airkool and Preston-based Coolbreeze were the winners of this year’s Fujitu-sponsored Oceanair UK golf day.

This year’s event, at Erewash Valley Golf Club in Derbyshire, saw more teams, new faces, a zany entertainer and a twist to the format with Texas scramble and Beat the Pro competitions.

Richard and Wayne Dawson of Airkool and Andy Kirby and Andy Best of Coolbreeze won the golf day’s first teamed tournament. They each received £100 Amazon gift vouchers. 

The day also raised £250 in aid of the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance.

The awards were presented by Oceanair MD Tony Evanson and Fujitsu’s national distribution sales manager Nick Wilks.
