A glittering birthday party at prestigious hotel Luton Hoo celebrated the 15th anniversary of Ryebridge Construction.
Clients, councillors, charity partners and staff gathered in the luxury surroundings of Warren Weir to mark the milestone occasion, including representatives from London Luton Airport and Love Luton.
An auction in support of Luton Foodbank and East Anglian Air Ambulance saw guests bidding for top prizes including seats in The Boot Room for Luton Town’s clash with Norwich, signed Hatters football shirts and the chance to play a round of golf at the home of the British Masters and four-time host to the Ryder Cup, The Belfry.
Daniel Coyle, who founded the award-winning civil engineering and building contractor in 2009, thanked everyone in the room for supporting the company over the past 15 years.
He reminded many present of Ryebridge’s last celebration, marking its 10th anniversary in 2019 when the following year looked certain to be its best yet, only for the pandemic to have a devastating impact on the business.
What followed was a case of protecting the workforce and rebuilding, and over time the company bounced back, with turnover tripling thanks to the efforts of the growing team.
Daniel thanked everyone who had supported both him and the business, especially London Luton Airport, and paid tribute to Ryebridge members of staff for their commitment and loyalty.
He said afterwards: “The evening was a celebration of Ryebridge’s 15th anniversary, but also a way of acknowledging the incredible support both myself and the company have received in this time, especially during the dark days of the pandemic.
“There was a real family atmosphere on the night and the feedback I’ve had since the event has been incredible. Here’s to the next 15 years!”
