YOUR “FORE” BUSINESS You may have heard the popular notion about how more business gets done on the golf course than in the boardroom. Whether or not that’s true is a matter of debate, but what is undeniable however is the long-standing synergy that exists between business and golf. Corporate golf days have been a staple of the social calendar for many a business over the years; sending invites to clients and potential clients for a day of links and drinks. WHY? QUITE SIMPLY; IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NETWORKING We spoke with Sean Fergusson and Arron Bust the founders of “FORE” Business to get an insight into the fastest growing business network in the UK. WHAT IS “FORE” BUSINESS? It’s a monthly networking event bringing likeminded, local senior decision makers together across the UK, to enjoy a game of golf and a good networking session at the same time. HOW WAS “FORE” BUSINESS FOUNDED? FREE Guest Pass The idea for “FORE” Business came about when we met at a local networking event and got talking about golf as a common interest. We soon got round to talking about the business successes we had on the golf course. It became clear business and golf has always unofficially gone hand in hand. The green being the perfect ‘playing field’ for important business meetings, discussions and negotiations to take place; so “FORE” Business was born with the thought, ‘what better way to encourage successful business relationships, than to create an actual members club for business owners who enjoy golf and love to network?’. With the average green free at £28 across the UK you are getting over £140 worth of golf as well as a fun and active way to help grow your business and widen your corporate reach.
