BAL AND THE CERAMIC TILES LTD GROUP TEAM
UP FOR BBC DIY SOS BAL has joined forces with Tile & Stone Gallery, part of the Ceramic Tiles Ltd Group based in Ipswich, to provide tiles, adhesives and grout to help BBC DIY SOS improve the home of Simon Dobbin.
In March 2015, Simon was set upon by a group of 25 men after watching his team Cambridge United play away at Southend United in Essex. The brutal attack left Simon fighting for his life after a stroke and bleed on the brain which caused permanent brain damage.
Thirteen men were subsequently convicted for the attack and jailed for more than 42 years in total.
Earlier this year the BBC issued a call- out for volunteers to donate their skills, time efforts and companies to donate materials to help the DIY SOS team make much needed renovations to Simon’s home in Mildenhall, Suffolk.
After hearing of the call, Jonathan Newton Tile & Stone Gallery Senior Manager from the Ceramic Tiles Group kindly agreed to be the tile supplier with Johnsons supplying tiles. BAL were

subsequently approached and agreed to supply Micromax2 Grout, Rapid-Flex One adhesive and White Star Plus adhesive for the project.
Before the completion of the project, Nicola Dobbin, Simon’s wife and full time carer said: “I’m totally and utterly overwhelmed by all the offers of help. The changes that will be made to the house will improve not only Simon’s life, but ours as a family.”
Jonathan Newton said: “Having grown up in the area I was already aware of
the awful injuries inflicted on Simon and the effect this had on him and his family. As soon as the company heard that the DIY SOS team were involved we immediately wanted to help. This story shows the generosity of people and it’s pleasing to see how willing so many people have been to give up their time and resources to help others in need.”
A date when the programme will be aired has not yet been revealed.

The Cheshire-based company was also Highly Commended in the Large Industrial Project of the Year category along with contractors Central Flooring Services for an installation at the Royal Mail’s sorting depot in Atherstone.
Flowcrete UK’s Managing Director, Kevin Potter, said: “We’re very proud to have won this year’s Large Commercial
Project award and to have done so well in the Large Industrial Project class as well. We faced stiff competition in both categories and coming away with these accolades represents a lot of hard work and commitment from across the Flowcrete UK team and from our applicator partners.
“Both of these projects were excellent examples of the challenges that can be overcome and the quality that can be accomplished through the combination of highly experienced applicator teams and Flowcrete UK’s specialist flooring systems.”
During the 2017 awards ceremony winners were announced for five categories in total, including: Small Industrial Project of the Year, Small Commercial Project of the Year, Large Industrial Project of the Year, Large Commercial Project of the Year, and Specialist Apprentice.
