Supporting Children in Need 2020: The Rickshaw Challenge

Rickshaw Challenge 2020 Banner

The Rickshaw Challenge has become a staple part of BBC Children in Need and is now amazingly in it’s 10th year!

 

After starting this year’s challenge just down the road from The Woodhorn Group at the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex with the aim completing the challenge around the grounds, the 8 day challenge has now sadly been forced to go virtual due to one of the team members testing positive for COVID-19.

 

So instead of cycling the 332 miles around Goodwood, the team will now be clocking up the distance from their own homes on exercise bikes. More information about the challenge can be found here.

 

As a company we will be donating to this amazing cause and we will all be getting involved with fundraising of our own which will include a company-wide bake sale and wearing yellow in support of the Children In Need appeal show on Friday 13th November.

COVID-19: England Lockdown Update

Woodhorn Building Sign

 

We would like to reassure everyone that our sites in Tangmere, Runcton, and Hayling Island are permitted to continue to operate as usual during the 4 week government lockdown across England beginning on Thursday 5th November and will remain open for the disposal of green waste and collection of topsoil and compost.

We have a number of contingencies that have been in place throughout the year to help protect our customers from any impact to the service we provide and to protect everyone from any additional risk of contracting the virus whilst visiting our sites.

Facemasks must be worn when entering the weighbridge office and hand sanitisers are positioned at our weighbridges at Tangmere, Runcton and Hayling Island composting sites to encourage strong hygiene regimes while on site. Please can all drivers and visitors to our sites observe the hygiene requirements and use the hand sanitiser prior to entering the weighbridge. If this represents any concerns then please get in contact.

Our staff have all been issued with clear guidance on how to assess and minimise the risk posed by Covid-19. We have robust contingencies in place to ensure any impact of Covid-19 is minimised on site and that our disposal and processing services continue unhindered.

We will endeavour to provide our usual high level of service throughout this latest lockdown in England. If you have any queries regarding the contingencies please do not hesitate to contact us.

In addition we have robust contingencies in place with our suppliers of products, predominantly Europe based, and are well stocked to handle any potential gap in the supply chain.

If you have questions please feel free to call us on 01243 781730 or email info@woodhorngroup.co.uk
