Industry News CHARITY RACE DAY RAISES £52,000 Richard Soan Roofing Services announced that its 2019 Charity Race Day event raised an incredible £52,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust. Held annually at Brighton Race Course, the event included an auction, champagne reception, lunch and an afternoon’s racing, with all proceeds going to the charity. The marquee, perfectly located beside the final furlong of the course, was bustling with 320 guests from the roofing and construction industry, attending what has become a regular highlight on their summer social calendar. With a glass of fizz in hand, attendees settled down to a sumptuous three course meal punctuated by fundraising games before the racing began. Richard has been hosting these events now for many years and knows how to work the crowd! As a seasoned auctioneer, he created what can only be described as a frenzy during the 18 auction lots held throughout the afternoon. This became an entertainment in itself, causing much hilarity to those looking on. By the end of the day, over £52,000 had been raised, which in the words of Richard “blew him away”. “It is the most we have ever raised” he went on to explain, “but I can only thank the amazing generosity and support of all those who attended. It is such a worthy cause and every penny goes into making a difference.” www.richardsoan.co.uk/teenage-cancer-trust CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE STATUS FOR CORE The NFRC’s Centre of Excellence (COE) and leadwork. scheme, which was launched in February CORE Hereford will also play a key role in helping 2019, recognises training providers and roofing installers to become RoofCERT accredited colleges that are committed to excellence in by delivering the required mandatory short the delivery of roofing-specific courses. duration courses and assessing their skills.
