Bridgestone Backs EG Wholesale at Annual Golf Day in Sussex

EG Wholesale, known for its 18 retail sites and burgeoning wholesale operation, enjoyed a day of networking and camaraderie on the greens. Bridgestone not only put its name to the event but also made its presence felt throughout the course. A notable feature was the chipping challenge near the 10th hole, where participants had the chance to exhibit their short game skills while learning about Bridgestone’s premium product range.

The event also served a noble cause, with the chosen charity being the Mary How Trust. This organisation provides health screenings to detect early signs of cancer and other serious illnesses. The day’s activities successfully raised £1,650 for the Trust, contributing to their vital work in the community.

Phil Berry, Bridgestone’s Trade Marketing Executive, expressed the significance of the event, stating, “Elite are a hugely important customer of ours, and their team have been strong advocates of our products for many years. We wanted to give something back and support them to ensure their day would be as memorable as possible. It was great to see our branding across the course, and it was also a valuable exercise in bringing our tyre range to life for Elite’s wholesale customers.”

Andy Mitchell, Sales Manager at Elite Group, echoed these sentiments, remarking on the positive impact of Bridgestone’s involvement. “Having Bridgestone as our main sponsor has made for a brilliant day. Seeing their branding across the golf course added a sense of prestige to the proceedings, and we thank the Bridgestone sales team for their support.”

Mitchell further highlighted the successful year for Elite Garages, noting the robust performance across its retail and wholesale operations. “We’ve gone from strength to strength in 2024, with potential to grow as a network in the months to come. We’re proud to offer the best professional advice to our customers, and our relationship with Bridgestone allows us to keep on growing. We appreciate their support and look forward to more collaborations in the future.”

The golf day at Goodwood not only strengthened the business relationship between Bridgestone and Elite but also reinforced their shared commitment to community support and excellence in service.
