Russell Roof Tiles raises a record-breaking £80,000 for charity

A record-breaking £80,000 has been raised by Russell Roof Tiles, after its Big Charity Quiz Night boosted its final fundraising amount by £15,000.

Held at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium, a total of 53 teams of four, which included customers, friends, family, staff and suppliers from across the UK, joined the concrete roof tile manufacturer for an evening of competitive quizzing, a nail-biting auction, raffle and ‘Reverse Bingo’, all in the name of charity.

Andrew Hayward, managing director at Russell Roof Tiles, hosted the event. He said: “We are delighted to have again hosted such a successful event, coming together to enjoy a memorable evening with friends and supporters as well as raising another record-breaking amount for our Burton and Lochmaben charities.

“Yet again this was our biggest and best Big Quiz so far; we had just over 200 people attend and so we want to say a massive thank you, specifically to Ben Robinson and Burton Albion for their continued support.  It was once again an incredible night that helped us raise a huge amount of money to support charities within our communities and make a real difference to people’s lives.”

Russell Roof Tiles announced its ambitious target to raise £40,000 for good causes this year, with a project called Give4Good, and so were delighted to double this target. A total of 10 local organisations and charities were selected for this year, five local to their Lochmaben facility and five local to Burton on Trent.

Andrew concluded “This year, through our Give4Good programme, we’re supporting amazing causes who all need hard cash to deliver essential local services to support our community and we’re delighted that we can support then in their invaluable work.”
