80 guests joined by ex-European Open champion and Prostate Cancer UK ambassador Andrew Murray, who provided expert coaching
The event was held at the famous Marquess course at Woburn Golf Club
Kwik Fit Fleet has raised £53,000 for Prostate Cancer UK as a result of its 2023 charity golf day. The event was held at the famous Marquess course at Woburn Golf Club with 80 players in attendance, comprising employees of Kwik Fit and its parent company ETEL, fleet customers, industry partners and guests.
The tournament was played in a fourball format with the players getting the chance to receive some expert coaching on the practice greens from Andrew Murray. Murray is an ex-European open champion, golf course designer and long time supporter of Prostate Cancer UK. He provided people with valuable tips on their putting and short game before they took on the challenging course.
Also in attendance were British Touring Car Championship leader Ash Sutton and his NAPA Racing UK teammate Daniel Rowbottom, who took time out of their racing schedule for a different form of driving.
The total amount raised was a result of donations and successful bids in the charity auction, with a range of highly desirable lots on offer. This is just one of the events Kwik Fit Fleet has held to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK, with the aim of combatting the most common cancer affecting men in the UK.
The funds are being used to raise awareness of the risks of prostate cancer, to support Prostate Cancer UK’s specialist nurses team, and help fund research into treatment and diagnosis, with a particular focus on developing an effective test for use in a national screening programme.
Dan Joyce, Kwik Fit Fleet Director, said "We are delighted that everybody enjoyed the day, but most importantly that we raised such a large sum for Prostate Cancer UK, an incredible £53,000. The weather just about held and the golfing form was also fair to middling. I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all those supported the day, particularly all our industry partners – we’re already looking forward to planning next year’s event."

Your tyre size can be found on the sidewall of your current tyre and is a sequence of numbers and letters. The most common tyre size in the UK is 205/55R16 but there are many variations so it’s important to check your existing tyre first before searching for tyres.
Tip: Take a photo of your existing tyre sidewall to make it easier to identify your tyre size using the guide below.
The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall.
Aspect Ratio
The fourth and fifth digits of the tyre code that immediately follow the tyre width. The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width.
Rim Diameter
The next two digits represent the size of the wheel rim that the tyre can be fitted to. It is also the diameter of the tyre from bead to bead. So a tyre marked 16 will fit on a 16-inch wheel rim.
Speed Rating
The speed rating of a tyre is represented by a letter of the alphabet at the end of the tyre size code and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tyre. Tyres receive a speed rating based on a series of tests which measure the tyres capability to handle a set speed for a prolonged period of time.
Select your tyre speed rating to find out the maximum speed your tyres can maintain.
If you are unsure what speed rating you need, be sure to check your vehicle handbook. Choosing a lower speed rating than that recommended by your vehicle manufacturer could potentially invalidate your insurance.
Load Rating
The load index provides information on the maximum weight capability for the tyre. The load index is a numerical code that can be located just after the tyre size marking and before the speed rating.
Select your load index to find out the maximum load capability for your tyres.
Although not illegal, it is not advisable to have tyres with a lower speed rating or load index than the manufacturer recommended tyre specification for your vehicle, or to have a combination of different tyre construction types. Consult your vehicle handbook to confirm your vehicle’s tyre speed rating and load index as well as any additional requirements.
