⛳ Another week, another step closer to 250!
Last week marked the next chapter in Jon's FORE Business FTSE250 Challenge.
The mission? 🤝 To connect, meet or play golf with 250 fellow FORE Business members and ensure Pure Pipeline is the first name businesses think of when they need support with telemarketing or lead generation.
📍 The week began with the FORE Business Darlington group at the stunning Rockliffe Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort, before heading to FORE Business Manchester South at the equally impressive Champneys Mottram Hall.
Both venues delivered incredible courses and unforgettable experiences. At Rockliffe Hall, there was even the chance to spot several Middlesbrough FC players, with the club's training facilities on site and a number of players watching from the clubhouse as everyone finished on the 18th green. ⚽
Despite seven weeks without rain, Mottram Hall was in tip top condition, with the greens absolutely immaculate. 🌤️
The biggest win, though? Plenty of fantastic conversations, lots of new connections, and several 1:1 meetings already in the diary. The challenge now stands at 132 connections, officially over halfway there! 🎉
A huge thank you to Gary Millington (TaxPrime Accounting), Chris Wilson (Speak and Serve) and Rob Trollope (MNAEA, MARLA) for the round at Mottram Hall, along with Brook Watson, Chris Williams and Mark Blacklee at Darlington! 🏌🏼⛳
The challenge has been incredibly rewarding, but it's certainly not without its hurdles. 🚗
Covering thousands of miles every week is exhausting, but with just two months to go, Jon is determined to smash the 250 connection target. 💪
A special thank you also goes to James Fletcher and Harry Rowbotham for looking after Jon at each event. 🙌
