Money, Madness and ‘Mind’
2nd July 2019

Guests at the GLAZERITE annual charity Race Night raised over £1300 for the charity We Mind & Kelly Matters, which was founded this year by Glazerite Chairman, John Hewitt, in memory of his late daughter Kelly.

Customers and suppliers joined employees from the Veka fabricator at Newmarket Racecourse for an afternoon of racing, followed by dinner and evening entertainment courtesy of legendary ska band, Madness.

Group managing director Jason Thompson, for Glazerite said: “It was a terrific night with a few lucky winners amongst our customers and suppliers. The biggest winner on the night though was the charity, We Mind & Kelly Matters, which John set up to help break down the stigma around mental health.

“We were delighted to have been joined on what was a very enjoyable evening by so many of our customers and suppliers. We’re very grateful to them all to have raised so much for the charity. We also had a superb gesture from Paul Sullivan from Anglo European Ltd who has agreed to support the charity throughout 2019.”

Another highlight of the night for Glazerite’s Operations Director, Ian Lloyd, was bumping into former jockey and 1981 Grand national winner, Bob Champion. Ian says:  “Our annual race night is something I always look forward to as it’s a great way for us to thank our customers for their loyalty.  Meeting Bob rounded off a great night perfectly.”
