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 .

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
