After bicycling across Cuba, climbing Kilimanjaro and trekking through the Sahara in aid of WellChild, it was a walk in the park for Recognition Express managing director Nigel Toplis to hold – and win – a golf tournament to raise even more money for the charity.

Branding and promotional products specialist Recognition Express has its head office in Coalville. The Recognition Express Masters 2015 was held at the Hinckley Golf Club and saw five teams of keen golfers and business men participate and raise £2,500 for the charity. Nigel’s own team took home the winning trophy after some notable below par ‘bandit’ golf!

Said Nigel: “I would like to thank the players for taking time out of their busy schedules and everyone who worked so hard to make the day such a success. Also, a big thank you to Lloyds bank for their kind sponsorship of the day.

“Everyone enjoyed the match and I’m delighted that we managed to raise such a significant amount of money for WellChild.”

Recognition Express has been supporting the work of WellChild for over a decade and Nigel Toplis’ endurance challenges have raised £44,500 for the appeal. Later this year he will be undertaking a nine day extreme trek through the Sumatran jungle to boost that total even further.

WellChild helps sick children and their families throughout the UK as they deal with the consequences of serious illness and complex conditions. The organisation’s mission is to reach as many children and young people as possible through focusing on care, support and research.
