Worcestershire Sport Relief.

Great effort by Dave and Elissa at the Worcester 5k Park Run today, as both were the fastest in their age category. Their times were as follows:

Dave 19 mins 58 secs
Elissa 23 mins 54 secs (New Personal Best)

The winners of the competition were:
Dave's time: Jenilee Cliff, who guessed 20 mins 08 secs (10 seconds out)
Elissa's time: Andy Jenkins, who guessed 23 mins 55 seconds (1 second out)
Entry picked at random: Kirk Waldron

Thanks to all of those that entered, as well as those who donated money. The total raised will be confirmed when all the money is in, but looks to be in the region of £150.

Preparation for Worcestershire surface dressing.

With the surface dressing season rapidly approaching extensive preparation works are underway. The team in Worcestershire have developed a new piece of equipment to attach to our Multihog to speed up the verge work needed prior to surface dressing the roads.

Work is progressing very well and the new equipment is proving to be a great success.

Get Ready for Sport Relief.

Ringway Corporate Social Responsibility project at Martley.

As part of our commitment to our Group Corporate Social Responsibility policy, John Howells is leading a team that are constructing free of charge a hardstanding for an astro turf pitch plus landscaping at Martley.

John has also contacted our supply chain and received free plant supply from Macdonalds and Hensons and free materials from Tarmac and Charcon.

Works are taking place at weekends throughout March and when completed the facility will be of great benefit to the local community.

Thanks go out to all concerned and we will update everyone when the project is completed.

6MM High Friction Surfacing Trial.

Over the weekend on the University sites at Hylton Lane Worcester we laid a new trial surfacing material that provides a high friction surface together with a distinctive colour. The finished appearance of the site is excellent and we will monitor the performance over the forthcoming months.
