Russell Roof Tiles raised a record-breaking amount for its charity initiative at this year’s annual Big Charity Quiz.
Fifty teams made up of customers, friends, family, staff, and suppliers from across the UK, and even the USA turned out for the event to raise £18,626.
The money will go to its Give4Good initiative, which has a target to raise £50,000 for good causes, including five which are local to its base in Burton upon Trent.
The event was held at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium and also included an auction, raffle and bingo.
The winning quiz team was led by Assistant Works Manager at the firm’s Burton tile plant, Andy Iliff who together with his family were outstanding winners losing just three points across all seven rounds.
Managing Director Andrew Hayward, who created and hosted the quiz with Area Sales Manager Ross Hayward and Commercial Services Director Paul McLoughlin, said: “We are delighted to have again hosted such a successful event, coming together to enjoy a memorable evening as well as raising another record-breaking amount for our Burton and Lochmaben charities.
“This was our biggest and best Big Charity Quiz so far; we had just over 200 people attend and so we want to say a massive thank you, specifically to Burton Albion for their continued support.
“It was once an incredible success that raised a huge amount of money to help charities within our communities and help make a real difference to people’s lives.”
This is one of the last major fundraising events for the tile manufacturer in 2024, whose staff have done a huge number of varied events and activities in the name of charity, including baking, sports, a Race Across Europe challenge, tough mudder, comedy and race nights and car boot sale.
This month the company also completed its Superstars Challenge, where 10 pairs of volunteers – completed 10 different sports across the year including football, pool, swimming, pentathlon, pickleball, bowls, tennis, golf, table tennis, and darts, raising another £2,000 for Give4Good.
