NIVO notches up another successful Business Networking & Golf Day

We are a tad tardy with this but Tuesday 15th July offered another business networking opportunity for the vending industry at the NIVO Golf Day. The day attracted the largest number of golfers ever with an amazing 78 attending the event at Oulton Hall in Leeds for NIVO’s fourth year at this fabulous venue. Excitement and anticipation built as golfers teed off on a course that included nine new holes from previous years, a new challenge for all! Everybody was hoping to network , build relationships and create business opportunities and quite a few were hoping not to get a bad shot caught on camera.
After the final hole there was time for the drink in the Claret Jug. Then it was on with the glad rags ready for an evening of good food, great company and big laughs.
