A Stafford-based company has renewed its links with Trentham Golf Club to help raise funds for one of Staffordshire's best loved charities.

Altecnic Ltd is the UK's leading provider of precision heating and plumbing components and for the eighth year running it has agreed to become lead sponsor for the Dougie Mac Golf Day.

Over the last decade the event, with Altecnic has raised more than £220,000 for the charity that provides hospice care for people with life limiting illnesses and support for their families and carers.

A keen golfer himself, Altecnic Managing Director Alan Sherwin, commented: "We are delighted to be able to continue our support for this fantastic event that brings together people from across Staffordshire's business community to support a very worthy cause. 

"I know the Douglas Macmillan Hospice is a charity close to many peoples' hearts in Staffordshire, including members of the Altecnic team. As a major local employer, and an active member of the business community, it is appropriate Altecnic lends its support to an event that's become one of the highlights of the county's sporting calendar and the company is proud to support the hospice in its vital work."

The Golf Day takes place at Trentham Golf Club on Friday, May 20th and will involve 36 teams of four from businesses and other organisations across the area. A limited number of spaces are still available and teams have until May 8th to register. Businesses can also sponsor a hole for the day for just £100.

Suzi Smith, Head of Corporate Fundraising and Events, commented: "We'd like to thank Alan and everyone from Altecnic for their support of our Golf Day. As well as sponsoring the event, the company enters additional teams and often receives donations and prizes from their suppliers. The monies raised throughout the day will help to fund the care and services we have become renowned for in our local community".
