Mr Houghton Attends Corporate Hospitality at The British Masters at The Belfry

Betfred British Masters Hosted By Sir Nick Faldo

This past weekend, our Joint Managing Director Michael Houghton attended the British Masters Golf at The Belfry, experiencing first-hand why top-level sporting hospitality is one of the most powerful tools for building lasting business relationships.

The British Masters, hosted by Sir Nick Faldo, offered more than just golf. It was a showcase of luxury hospitality at its finest and the perfect setting to impress clients, spark meaningful conversations, and even close important deals.

The Power of Hospitality in Business

Corporate hospitality is often underestimated. On the surface, it may look like a day of sport and leisure, but in reality, these environments are carefully designed for connection and influence. Away from boardrooms and office walls, conversations flow naturally, barriers come down, and business decisions are made in a relaxed atmosphere where trust can develop faster.

For many companies, entertaining clients at world-class events is not just about enjoyment, it is about strategy. In a single day, you can strengthen a relationship, build loyalty, and create opportunities that might otherwise take months of traditional meetings and calls. Unlike digital marketing or cold outreach, hospitality delivers a human touch, showing clients they are valued and appreciated on a personal level.
