Teamwork, leadership and determination are all qualities displayed by the military, which can stand ex-forces personnel in good stead when entering the construction industry, as Construction United’s headline sponsor, SIG, proved at a recent competition in Canterbury. Six ex-military members of the SIG team were put forward for a gruelling seven-hour challenge against The Prince of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) to raise funds for The Friends of the PWRR and Construction United’s chosen charities; Mind, CRASH and The Prince’s Trust. Created over 12 years ago, The Friends of the PWRR raises funds to help soldiers who face life altering circumstances serving their country, including PTSD, physical injuries and also provides assistance to those transitioning into civilian life after service. The SIG squad won out on the day, defeating the Regiment two to one, drawing in two events. Sponsorship raised a total of £4,000, which will be split between the charities.
