LEASING Options, the Manchester-based leasing broker, recently held its annual charity Golf Day to help raise funds for its chosen charity, Once Upon a Smile.
Held at Dunham Forest Golf & Country Club, and sponsored by Swansway and Carmmunity, Leasing Options hosted the event with almost 50 contacts from dealerships, funders and manufacturers from across the industry and managed to raise over £2,500.
Our annual charity golf day really has turned into a much-loved event and this year’s was no exception. To see so many of our colleagues and contacts from across the industry come together and have such a great day is fantastic. The fact we managed to raise so much money for Once Upon a Smile really was the cherry on the top.

Mike added: “I also want to give a special shout out to the team at Swansway for their incredible donation of £500 and to Carmmunity for sponsoring the event. Their support was fantastic and really helped it be such a huge success.”
The winning team was Harrison Walsh from Leasing Options and his team mates Steve, Kevin and Geoff.
Daniel Jillings, co-founder of Once Upon A Smile said: “Massive thanks to Mike and all the team at Leasing Options for hosting yet another fantastic event as part of their ongoing support of Once Upon A Smile.
“We’ve been partners with Leasing Options for a long time now, but it never ceases to amaze us how much passion and enthusiasm they have for supporting us and how much thought goes into all their fundraising efforts for us, and the annual golf day is no exception.
“This year’s event was absolutely brilliant and everyone who took part had a fantastic time while raising a huge amount of money for our charity which is incredible.”
