What better way to
test the resolve of the MD of one leading plastics manufacturing business and
the once MD of the other leading plastics and hardware stockist and distributor
(now
acquired by the former)
than to send them out to buy a £350 car
and drive it across Europe, over the Alps hairy Furka Pass and on to Monaco.
Well, that’s exactly what
The
process of acquisition is long and arduous, particularly for the heads of the
acquirer and mergee, both in the long months before the event and those
securing the perfect operational unity afterwards.
So,
what better test of co-operative spirit than to cast them adrift in ‘an old
banger’ to take part in the Maidstone to Monaco Banger Rally raising much
needed funds for Parenta Trust. Parenta Trust (incorporating Fields of Life) is
an innovative charity whose efforts are giving more than just hope to the
children of Uganda and Kenya
They
drill sources of fresh drinking water and build schools for the children of
eastern Africa . Each project is turned into a
business. Managers are mentored to deliver sustainable resources locally, so
that school, water and farming become self-sufficient within each of the
communities the charity helps.
The
children gain two basic assets for life - water and education - and their
parents the guidance to grow and sell crops. As well as nourishing their
families, they contribute financially to the running of their village schools.
School managers are taught how to claim and maintain authority and charitable grants
enabling Parenta Trust to move its own resources to fund and manage fresh
projects elsewhere.
93 pence in every
pound donated delivers sustainable help where it’s needed most – on the ground.
Paul
has been involved with the charity for some time and has visited projects in Uganda Monaco
Their efforts will
raise a minimum of £1,000 but through your support, sponsorship and general
kindness, they hope to raise much more as their old banger chugs and splutters
its way to the chequered flag.
If
you would like to sponsor the S&R car, we will reproduce your logo onto a
magnetic sheet that sticks to the wing (it might even help keep it together)
and you’ll ride the hood from 25th to 29th June from
Maidstone through Europe, over the Alps and down to Monaco
In true Top Gear
style, all they have to do is buy a car for £350; drive across Europe; navigate
the hairy Furka Pass, switching back on themselves through hairpin bends with
unforgiving drops – will £350 buy power steering – and let’s hope it has a
clutch!
