A YORK business specialising in golf holidays has won a regional title in a national awards scheme celebrating family firms.

Glencor Golf Holidays was recognised for Customer Service in the North East regional category at The National Family Business Awards.

The awards, which were held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, were attended by more than 350 people, each representing the many family businesses throughout the United Kingdom.

The judging panel recognised the strong positive feedback from the thousands of golfers who travel around the UK and Europe on breaks with Glencor Golf Holidays.

Corrie Renton, marketing director of Glencor Golf, pictured, said: “We have worked really hard throughout 2017 and 2018 to ensure our customers had the best customer service possible and the team here are absolutely delighted it has been rewarded with incredibly positive feedback from some very happy golfers and recognition at these national awards.

“Despite our continued growth over recent years, it feels great to be acknowledged for continuing to provide a tailored service, and offering sound advice to our customers on the location, courses and accommodation for their ideal holiday.”

Glencor Golf Holidays, which operates out of a head office in Rawcliffe, was founded in 1995 providing golf holidays across Europe, focusing on countries such as Spain and Portugal.

Started by Peter Renton, the business is now a second generation affair as sons Corrie and Glen are now helping “from a digital perspective which is where the majority of the growth has come from due to the changing role technology has played in travel”.
