Organising your first charity golf day and making it a success could be a complicated process, but for one firm it was, well, absolute Simplicity.

The score cards are in and the Forest of Dean headquartered firm has revealed its event raised £6,500 for one of Gloucestershire's best-loved children's charities.

Businesses and UK-based recruitment agencies keen to take the honours gathered at Brickhampton Court Golf Complex for what was billed as the Simplicity Golf Day in aid of the Pied Piper Appeal.

Jonathan Viney, director at Simplicity, said: "This is the first time we have held such an event and we're delighted to welcome so many likeminded business leaders who came together to support one of the region's much-loved charities.

"The Pied Piper Appeal is one that is close to many of our hearts. The work they do in supporting sick and disabled children throughout Gloucestershire is simply remarkable."

Pied Piper chairman, Nick Broady, said: "With vital support from the local business community, Pied Piper can deliver the critical services to those who need it most."

He added: "The Simplicity Golf Day was a fantastic event and I would like to thank everyone who helped organise, donate and contributed to the £6.5k raised for the Pied Piper Appeal."

Mitcheldean-based Simplicity is one of the region's fastest growing companies, with revenues rising sharply from £24 million in 2011/12 to over £100 million 2017/18.

This has seen the business firmly establish itself as a leading provider of outsourced back office and financial solutions for the recruitment industry, working with agencies ranging from start-up businesses to established entities looking to grow across the length and breadth of the UK.

The firm is already looking forward to staging the event again next year. August 22 is the date for your dairy.
