Celtic Charity Golf Day for StrongMen

Celtic Charity Golf Day
On Friday 18th September, we hosted our annual Charity Golf Day at Burhill Golf Club. This year’s Golf Day was extra special, as it was the first year our winners were presented with the John Whyte Memorial Cup.

We sadly lost John Whyte, our founder and Chairman, in January this year. Having started Celtic in 1995 with a small van and a simple set of tools, John built the company we are today through determination, hard work and a belief in the importance of relationships. He always maintained strong connections to community and sport, so awarding a trophy in his name felt like a fitting way to honour his legacy.

Our chosen charity this year was StrongMen, a bereavement charity which supports men through the physical and emotional impact of grief. Too often, men feel they have to face loss alone, and StrongMen works to break that silence. Every donation helps them reach more people when they need it most.

Congratulations to the Overbury Project Blueprint Team who became the very first winners of the John Whyte Memorial Cup.

We're delighted to share that together we raised an incredible £22,370 for StrongMen! This is a fantastic achievement, and it's thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part.

A huge thank you to all our players, sponsors and supporters, to the team at Burhill Golf Club for looking after us, and to everyone who helped organise the event and made it such a fantastic day. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate John’s life and the spirit he brought to Celtic.
