SMT GB supports Rainbows
Hospice Annual Fireworks night The event took place on 3 September 2018 and SMT GB attended alongside Aggregate Industries, Collins Earthworks and CRH Plant Hire at Leicester Racecourse. This family-friendly event consists of two firework displays, a huge bonfire, funfair and food stalls, all to raise money for the Rainbows Hospice.
On display at the event was Aggregate Industrie’s new P9820C paver which had been wrapped in Rainbows’ livery to help raise the profile of the charity as the paver begins work on key infrastructure projects, including the A14. Collins Earthworks also brought along a Volvo A30G and EW160E for display while SMT GB had a Volvo simulator for people to try. SMT GB also donated raffle prizes of toy models and a LEGO
Technic model. The total raised by raffle ticket sales and donations collected at the simulator and other machines amounted to £5,464, and the event raised over £45,000 in total. Colin McKenzie (National Sales Manager, Road Machinery at SMT GB) also won a raffle prize of Manchester United stadium
tour tickets which he immediately put up for auction to the highest bidder within SMT, and a further £200 was raised for the charity. Ian Longdon (Area Sales Manager) was the highest bidder, and the tickets were gifted to his son, who is a big Manchester United supporter, for Christmas.
