The event was organised by Bamber Bridgebased Evolve Document Solutions in partnership with Preston-based Optimum Signs at Ashton and Lea Golf Club. More than 100 golfers from Lancashire businesses took part in a day of competitive golf, networking and fundraising. Now in its sixth year, the charity tournament has raised over £30,000 for local causes in total. Last year’s event raised £5,571 and Rainbow Hub, which supports children with physical and neurological disabilities, returned as the 2025 beneficiary. Daniel Maddox, Managing Director of Evolve Document Solutions, said: “It was amazing to see so many familiar and new faces out on the course. Everyone dug deep and really got behind the cause - it means a lot to us and to Rainbow Hub. “We’re also really grateful to Ashton and Lea Golf Club for hosting us again this year. The team there always go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, and it’s a brilliant setting for the day.” The event featured a team competition, with prizes awarded to the top three teams, as well as individual honours for longest drive and nearest the pin. Guests also participated in a charity auction and raffle, with sports memorabilia and donated prizes helping to boost the fundraising total. Emma Parish, Rainbow Hub Corporate Relations and Events Manager, added: “We can’t thank Evolve Document Solutions and Optimum Signs enough for choosing Rainbow Hub as this year’s beneficiary and for putting on such a fantastic event. The atmosphere, generosity and effort from everyone involved were truly uplifting. Events like this don’t just raise money - they raise awareness and they show the families that the business community is right behind them.” www.evolvedocumentsolutions.co.uk BNP Paribas recognises Vision Vision has been awarded the BNP Paribas Office Equipment Introducer of the Year.
