Technicolour paving machine to help charity
AS part of its continuing pledge to support local charities, Aggregate Industries has joined forces with the Rainbows Hospice to unveil a new technicolour paving machine.
On a mission to brighten up the road network, the construction materials supplier has invested in a new heavyweight Volvo 9820 paver, wrapping it in vivid rainbow colours in honour of the work that the Leicester-based charity does in supporting children and their families with life-limiting conditions.
The paver made its first appearance at the Rainbows Firework Spectacular at Leicester Racecourse on Saturday November 3, giving spectators the opportunity to get up close and personal to the kit and raise some much-needed funds.
Tom Stannard, Corporate Partnership Fundraiser for Rainbows Hospice, said: “We’re really excited to be involved with this project.
“We’ve worked with Aggregate Industries before but this is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to co-brand a piece of machinery; all the more significant the paver is quite specialist and rare!
“It’s really inspiring to think how many people will see the Rainbows Hospice branding as they pass the machine when it’s out on the road.”
Following its debut, the rainbow paver will then be deployed for use on road construction projects where it will help to raise awareness of the hospice across the region.
“It’s really special to be able to partner with a charity like Rainbows and support them on their journey in changing the lives of life limited children and their families,” adds Craig Flowers, National Plant Manager at Aggregate Industries.
“We are delighted to be able to raise their profile and hopefully a good chunk of money to ensure the team can continue to do what they do best - care.”
Aggregate Industries’ longstanding supply partners, Collins Earthworks, CRH Plant alongside manufacturer Volvo, will also be showcasing some of the latest plant and equipment available at the Rainbows Fireworks Spectacular and in addition to helping raise money for the Hospice, are hoping to use the opportunity to entice young spectators to consider a career in construction.
