WHAT a great event the Leasing Broker Federation Golf Tournament 2017 turned out to be – and that comes from me, who wasn’t playing!
The golf event, supported by Europcar, was played out on the 18-hole Duke’s course at the fabulous Woburn championship course in Bedfordshire.
The eventual winners were the Arval team of Matt Dawson (Arval) and Alex Andrews (Planet Leasing).
Here are some pictures from the day, including all 14 teams.
Associate partner Hyundai displayed its highly successful IONIQ model, overlooking the putting green. The Hyundai IONIQ is the first car to be available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full EV.

A bit of the action
Just to prove you weren’t all standing around in groups of four, here’s some of the athleticism on display at the Woburn course.

And finally, the winners
Alex Andrews  of Planet Leasing decides not to return the trophy to the Federation’s Nick Ratcliffe; and there looks little chance Matt Dawson of Arval (on the right) will get to share the trophy either!
