For Randall & Payne, being fully involved with the Gloucestershire community is important to all of us, as is the desire to contribute to the development of the community in which we live and work. For good economic growth we need entrepreneurs with great ideas and products, and the confidence to launch new businesses in Gloucestershire. We're keen to encourage and support entrepreneurs and new businesses in the area.
We're proud to be have been in Stroud for more than 130 years and more recently, in Gloucester and Cheltenham. Gloucestershire is a wonderful part of the world and we're not surprised that people want to live and build family businesses here.
Our involvement comes in various guises, from giving free professional advice and support to local community and voluntary organisations through Gloucester ProHelp, part of the national network ProHelp, to sponsorship and fundraising activities.
Our sponsorship activities include:
R&P supported The Rotary Club of Cheltenham North in respect of the Swim4Shelterbox sponsored swim on 23/10/10. R&P provided sponsored swimming caps for the event, which is expected to have raised £1000 for the disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.
