Sealants, adhesives and building chemicals manufacturer Bond It has lent its support to a builder raising funds for the Lighthouse Club.
The business sponsored Will Linday as he undertook a mammoth, 1000 mile, Land’s End to John O’Groats car run in aid of the building industry charity.
Founded in 1956, the Lighthouse Club provides welfare assistance and support to construction industry workers and their families during times of injury or ill health. Since the charity’s formation, it has delivered financial aid to the value of £11 million.
A self-employed builder for 35 years and now enjoying the benefits of semi-retirement, Linday has been a Lighthouse Club member and supporter for two decades. This is the third time he has completed the Lighthouse Club’s Land’s End to John O’Groats Run in aid of the charity.
He undertook the run in a Nissan Micra which is at the end of it useable life and that was originally destined for scrapping and recycling.
David Moore, managing director at Bond It, says: “As a manufacturer whose products are used across the construction industry, the work of the Lighthouse Club is close to our own hearts. We are delighted at being able to support that through our sponsorship of Will.”
