Ryder Cup Success

4/10/2018

Not only did Europe beat the USA in the Ryder Cup but the Charity Golf Day beat last year’s total and raised a fantastic £12.000.

Played on the first day of the Ryder Cup at Lytham green Drive GC, the weather was good, the course was looking at it’s best and with 33 teams playing, another record, it was all in all a fantastic day.

The competition was a Texas Scramble and there were prizes for the overall winner, runners up, nearest the wobbly line etc.

The Kingsland & RJ Trophy, presented by Mark Dixon Director, Kingsland Drinks, was won by a team from Kingsland, Tony Faulkner, Nick Fortune, Dan Johnson and Paul Bill. Well done lads.

As it was the Ryder Cup we encouraged teams to have team names and team outfits reflecting the Ryder Cup theme.

There were some very enterprising names and “Ryder Cock Horse” was chosen as the best, but we think the Judges were “cautious” in their choice.

The best dressed team were undoubtedly “The Ryder Stone Cowboys” followed by the “Wildcard Whackers” and you can see from the pictures why they were both chosen

There were 129 for dinner and the MC for the evening was Janet Walker who also did the auction.
Janet is one of our clients at The Guildhall and if she ever decides to pack in the day- job she certainly has another career to fall back on. Many thanks Janet

Chris Swinton of Francis House Children’s Hospice was extremely pleased with the whole day and the fantastic amount raised and thanked everyone for their support and generosity “It will be of tremendous benefit to the children”

We at RJFacilities together with Kingsland Drinks are really pleased to be part of this fund raising and the whole day was a brilliant success with thanks to all who contributed in whatever way.

Kind words from Curious Minds

3/10/2018

Hi Derek,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of the whole team at Curious Minds for providing us with t-shirts for our 10k. Our current fundraising total is £1013.76 and we are still collecting donations so this is a great start to our Curious Stories fund!

We hope to be able to use the fund to help young people to pursue their interest in the arts - helping them pay for lessons, buy an instrument, travel to a performance or concert, buy materials, hire time in a recording studio… there are lots of ways in which a small amount of money is going to make a huge difference! If you want to share our fundraising page with any of your contacts, the link is here.

Here’s a pic of us after we’d crossed the finish line. Your support has meant so much as it’s such tangible proof that others care about our cause. It’s great to have you on Team Curious!

Best wishes Derek,

Steph

On your marks... Get set... Go!

1/10/2018

On Sunday 30 September, 14 runners together with 11 support buddies from Curious Minds took part in the 10K fun run day from Preston Guild Hall.

The Curious Minds team t-shirts were proudly sponsored by rjfacilities and a great day out was had by all.

Bob Buckton Tribute

19/9/2018

It with the greatest sadness we must let you know Bob Buckton alias “Bob the Job” has passed away.

Bob worked with us at Kingsland Drinks as a member of our Hygiene Team and was reliable, hardworking, respected and liked by all. He had a great sense of humour which helped as he was a Man City supporter, a chess player, teaching his Grandson, Finley, how to play.

We called him Father Christmas, because we knew it annoyed him, but sadly we didn’t know he played the banjo!! We could have had some fun with that.

Bob was devoted to his family, his wife of 44 years, Elaine, his daughters, Melissa & Melanie, his Grandchildren, Finley and Jessica, and finally Ted his faithful companion.

We will miss him, not just for his work but because he was a good man to have on your side.

Our deepest sympathies go to his family and friends.

Reactive Maintenance Services

Reactive maintenance is quite simply ‘reacting’ to an issue, such as a breakage/breakdown, as it occurs. As opposed to planned maintenance, where you inspect and maintain the clients’ facility’s fabric to avoid possible issues, reactive maintenance covers those eventualities that you just cannot predict or plan for.

Reactive maintenance services ensure that any unexpected breakage/ breakdowns, whilst frustrating, are fixed quickly, with minimum disruption to your business. Find out more about our new service.
