Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Woodlands Secondary School in Luton was presented with a minibus from builders merchant Travis Perkins plc as the company celebrated its 15th year of sponsoring the TP Masters golf event.
The Variety Club Sunshine Coach keys were handed over by John Carter, chief executive of Travis Perkins plc, to Debbie Foolkes, headteacher at Woodlands.
The donation will enable the school, in Northwell Drive, to participate in community trips, and extended learning opportunities such as work experience, educational and vocational trips and residential trips such as the Duke of Edinburgh Awards expeditions.
John Carter said: “For me the presentation of this coach is always a focal point of the tournament and starts the weekend off in a great way, by giving back to the community.
“This is the 11th Sunshine Coach we have donated which coincides with our 11th consecutive year at Woburn, and we’ve seen firsthand, the difference they make to schools. As a business, I hope we will continue to support many more charitable causes in the future.”
