Wild Coast to Coast challenge takes Rolawn’s fundraising to new levels for Greenfingers Charity

To mark the 20th year of their nominated charity, Greenfingers, the team at Rolawn has stepped up their fundraising efforts with multiple events throughout 2019. The latest, a 2-day, 170-mile Coast to Coast cycle challenge took place last weekend, and raised £903, taking the total raised year to date to £1,860. 

On Saturday 10th August, in storms that can only be described as Biblical, four determined cyclists, Kierron Moore, Steve Handley, Mark Hatfield and Alan Featherstone (pictured, l-r), set off for Bridlington from Morecambe; with Mike Smith and Jonathan Hill, providing both technical and moral support along the route. 

Cycling across the Pennines and through the Yorkshire Dales National Park is a challenge at the best of times, even for the experienced cyclist, but the conditions endured by these volunteers shows true commitment to the cause. The team battled torrential rain and gales, overcame technical issues, dusted themselves off after hitting the deck and righted wrong turns, spurred on by a singular aim – to improve the lives of families facing challenges far greater than those thrown at them on this ride.

Their achievement is summed up best by Jonathan Hill, Rolawn’s Sales and Marketing Director and Ambassador for Greenfingers, who says, “Chapeau to Rolawn’s intrepid cyclists, Steve, Alan, Kierron and Mark. A great achievement that was inspirational to witness and makes me proud to have them as colleagues.”

Rolawn has supported the Greenfingers Charity, which is dedicated to the creation and improvement of the gardens at UK children’s hospices, for over 15 years, through a series of fundraising initiatives and the donation of turf and topsoil for several gardens created by Greenfingers.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
