I started Driving Sales Ltd in 2004, which was originally helping golf courses connect with local businesses through sponsorship. Event Caddie became a trading name supplying the corporate market with embroidered and printed golf gifts and clothing. Starting the business gave me a new direction and helped me with my recovery and my mental health.

I’m passionate about delivering the best customer service, and my experience in retail helps me visualise the company through the website.’ – Neil.
