Selco Builders Warehouse has announced it will be taking part in the Krazy Races event in Queen’s Square Wolverhampton, on August 28.
The soapbox design is based around a Selco vehicle, complete with crane, the team will be racing under the banner of “Tool Runnings” – it has said it is taking inspiration from the Cool Runnings bobsleigh film.
Craig Dickinson, branch manager of Selco Wolverhampton, said: “It’s been brilliant getting everyone involved in preparing the vehicle. Given we are a builders merchant, we wanted a trade theme to be at the heart of our design and we are confident we have achieved that and produced something which will grab attention on the day.
“We’ve taken the vehicle out for a few test runs on skate ramps at local parks and we are confident it will go fine.”
Selco also explained how it is delighted to be raising money for the three charities, which includes; Cancer Research UK, Wings and Paws Rescue and Every Family Counts.
Joseph Trucker, a van driver at Selco Wolverhampton, will be driving the soapbox and will be supported by four of his colleagues; Laura Smith, David Beck, John Campbell and Sunny Lal.
