Heidelberg Materials earns patrons’ award for services to industry charity

We have been recognised for our 20-year commitment to CRASH, a charity which assists homelessness and hospice charities with construction projects.

Denis Curran, our contracting major projects director, received the Above and Beyond award on behalf of the company at the charity’s Annual Patrons’ Reception. 

Heidelberg Materials was honoured as one of five businesses from the construction and property industry for its long-term collaboration and support. Over the years this has included donating materials to deliver improvements to hospice car parks, providing expertise to save the charity money on building projects and creating wash bags for homeless people.

CRASH chief executive, Francesca Roberts, said: ‘‘Our patron companies are the beating heart of what we do and the future of this charity. A huge thank you for everything you do to help CRASH and our work.”

Thanks to involvement from Heidelberg Materials and other patron companies, CRASH was able to help 50 homeless charities and hospices with 52 different projects last year.
