AND FINALLY
RGB’s Launceston branch marks 30 years since opening The Launceston branch of RGB Building Supplies recently celebrated 30
years since it opened its doors.
As well as giving away goody bags to thank visitors for their custom, the branch team held a raffle in aid of RGB’s chosen charity, Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust, where one lucky person won a signed Exeter Chiefs shirt. The raffle raised £107 for the charity. The Launceston branch was the first depot RGB opened in Cornwall and it has continually grown and developed the range it offers to customers. This includes the opening of a kitchen and bathroom showroom in 2019.
British Gypsum donates £10,000 to struggling charities this Christmas
Christmas parties may be cancelled this year, but British Gypsum is still spreading Christmas cheer. The manufacturer is gifting £10,000 to a number of causes, including children’s charity Barnardo’s and construction industry charity CRASH.
Their gift to Charity this December recognises the shortfall in cash many charities have experienced due to COVID-19 and mirrors the average amount raised by British Gypsum staff in a typical ‘normal’ year. CRASH and Barnardo’s will receive £5,000 each. British Gypsum is a patron of CRASH, which encourages construction industry firms to donate their resources to support homeless shelters and hospices.
