The Red Van Plumber’s Charity
Skydive. Heppelthwaite ‘The Red Van

Plumbers’ have reached new heights with their
charitable fundraisers. You may remember in the
September HIYA edition we ran an article with the title ‘The Flying Red
Van Accountant’ where Ash Makwana volunteered to throw himself out of an

Remind us please, what charity you
were doing this for and why?
It’s for the British Heart Foundation. I
choose this charity as one of our engineers
(an ex-marine with over
100 skydives to his name)
suffered a heart attack
some time ago, he’s OK
today.
