Morris Vermaport to compete in Dragon Boat challenge!

Some people may think we are taking our commitment to the core value of being Green, way too far, but it is a rumour that the new company vehicles will be dragon boats. Mainly because there are very few lifts sited close to rivers!!

The truth is Morris Vermaport Lifts has entered two teams in the annual Dragon Boat Challenge at this years Nottingham Riverside Festival on the 8th August 2010.

Dragon boat racing is an ancient Chinese tradition and the fastest growing water activity in Britain today – as well as the most fun! Up to 10 people paddle each 30’ boat with a drummer at the front beating time and a helmsman (oops that’s not PC should it be helmsperson!!) at the tail steering a straight course. No previous experience is required, just plenty of team spirit!

We are committed to our core values, one of which is CARE in all its forms, therefore we will be raising money for Rainbows Childrens Hospice. They offer specialist respite stays, symptom management, life improvement and end-of-lifecare for children and young people as well as support for the whole family.

We would like to ask all our valued customers and suppliers to sponsor us to help such a worthy cause.
