…And the winner isn’t…!
25th April 2017

There’s an extra four-figure bonus in store for three good causes after the winner of an all-in trip to the Monaco Grand Prix had to hand back the prize to be put up for auction.

Reinforcement provider Anglo European had awarded the prize, worth £3,000, to Dave Toulson, MD of Barnsley-based Halo fabricator DEM Window Solutions but he realised he could not make it to the May event.

Anglo European Operations Director James Lister took up the story: “When Dave offered the tickets back to us, our first thought was that this fantastic prize could raise some serious money for a great cause.

“We work in an industry full of generous people, so we are auctioning the prize with the money going to charity. The person that digs deepest will be jetting off to Monaco in May to experience the thrill of one of the greatest road races in the world. The full package is worth £3,000 and includes two tickets for the event, return flights and hospitality for the day.”

The secret auction is to be run online at http://goo.gl/lLn1UM until May 5 when the money from the highest bid will be shared between the industry’s two prominent charities, GM Fundraising and MADi Fundraising, as well as The South Yorkshire Schoolboys Under 18s. The team, of which Dave Toulson’s son is a member is fundraising to take a trip to America in 2018.

The original draw was for the Anglo European customer with the highest increase in order value in the four months to last January.
