A great design for a great cause
From a simple enquiry to our office for a livestock building, a seed was planted and a great relationship was formed.
RIDBA( The Rural and Industrial Design and Building Association) is delighted to announce Farming Monthly as our media partner for the 2017 RIDBA Building Awards!
I n September 2016, we launched the RIDBA Building Awards, previously known as the FAB Awards, which has always proved to be the highlight of the industry calendar. Showcasing the best in rural and industrial buildings, the awards are a unique opportunity to promote the success and exceptional performance of our members to the wider industry, and with the help of Farming Monthly, RIDBA members will get the promotion they deserve. This year, we received a record number of entries demonstrating the diversity of skills from our members, from schools and offices to cattle buildings and stables.
Working with Farming Monthly, we will announce the short-listed entries in early February and the winners of the awards will be announced at the RIDBA Building Awards Dinner on Friday 17 March 2017, featuring a champagne drinks reception and a 3-course dinner. The event will be hosted by popular Countryfile presenter Ellie Harrison at the Radisson Blu hotel in Cardiff. If you would like to book your place at this event, please call 0844 249 0043 or email admin @ ridba. org. uk.
RIDBA Chairman James Anthony said that“ RIDBA has achieved a great deal within the industrial and agricultural building industry and the Awards will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase some exceptional work. With the support of Farming Monthly, we are sure the RIDBA Building Awards will be a true benchmark for our industry.”
RIDBA is proud to start working with Farming Monthly and we look forward to a great working partnership for 2017.
W e commenced fabricating Mr Wigley’ s new building in September 2016 and in November 2016 the building arrived at the Old Stack Yard ready for erecting.
During this time, we learnt of the terrible loss of Eve Mr Wigley’ s lovely wife to ovarian cancer and his hard work and dedication to establish a herd of British Blues in her memory.
Mr Wigley has with a heavy heart thrown himself into fund raising and raising awareness, working alongside Ovarian Cancer
Action.
Mr Wigley’ s passion and enthusiasm for the charity, stirred emotions within our office and we felt moved into doing something to show our support.
At Paul Huxley Construction, we were able to support Ovarian Cancer Action by sending awareness leaflets with all our quotes. Paul also agreed to donate a percentage of each building sold for a period of two months raising a total of £ 3081.05.
We will continue to support the charity Mr Wigley holds very close to his heart. www. farmingmonthly. co. uk January 2017 | Farming Monthly | 29
