A team of staff from family owned construction fi rm Osborne have completed the 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for a humanitarian charity. Staff from the fi rm, whose
Directors and staff from South Devon estate agent Marchand Petit presented over £10,000 to The Prince’s Trust. Over the previous fi nancial year Marchand Petit contributed a proportion from every house they have sold to the charity, resulting in the presentation, at the beautiful Delamore Estate in Cornwood, which gave all the staff the opportunity to enjoy the culmination of their efforts when a cheque was presented to Sally Mabbutt from The Prince’s Trust and Trust- supported young entrepreneur Owen Lowry. The funds will go to help
more young people like Owen, from Plymouth, who have faced many diffi culties in their lives, but have overcome them with the help of The Prince’s Trust. “With so many charities in need, the decision has not been easy,” said Marcus
Lucock, MD of Marchand Petit commenting on the choice of cause to support, “The main reason for the decision is at a time when unemployment amongst young people is at an all time high, The Prince’s Trust offers the support needed for 13 to 30 years-old to turn their lives around.” Sally Mabbutt, Commercial
Manager at The Prince’s Trust added, “We are delighted to have had the support of Marchand Petit and are thrilled with the outstanding amount they raised. We couldn’t continue to help the young people that we do across Devon and the whole of the UK without the help of forward thinking businesses like Marchand Petit. These funds will go directly towards helping disadvantaged young people in the local area get into work, training or education. Thank you.”
