Spaldings pledges their support to RABI

David Fox, Chief Executive Officer for Spaldings

Spaldings, one of Europe’s leading distributors of Agricultural replacement parts, tools and accessories have announced that the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution will be their nominated charity for 2011. Last year RABI celebrated 150 years of providing support to the farming community with help ranging from quarterly grants for the elderly to specialist equipment for the disabled.

“The agricultural industry is one that Spaldings is very much a part of and is an industry that has driven our success over the past fifty five years of trading” says David Fox, Chief Executive Officer for Spaldings. “Our support of RABI in 2011 is an opportunity to give something back to the agricultural community and we will be working throughout the year on a number of fund raising initiatives.”
 
Spaldings will also be working closely with RABI to raise the charities profile and increase awareness of its services amongst the farming community. All Spaldings advertising will now carry RABI’s logo and their website will detail the charities contact details, in the event that a Spaldings customer may require their services.

“The first fundraising event will be held over the two days of the LAMMA Show at which a number of products from our range will be raffled to raise funds.  Secondly there will be a tandem sky dive set to take place in early spring with many Spaldings’ employees taking part” Mr Fox says. “There will be other sponsored events throughout the year in order to raise as much financial support and generate some additional funding that is so crucially needed by RABI.”
