Two events we saved in 2024
Ryebridge was instrumental in ensuring that two major events in Luton were able to take place this year.
In May our team gave up their time over two days to help make Stockwood Park safe and accessible for one of the most exciting weekends ever for Luton. Following torrential rain it looked as though the Radio One Big Weekend would be cancelled, until we repaired the fire escape route, set down new flooring, completed various remedials around the site and helped make improvements to accessible parking areas.
Managing director Sean Scully said: “We wouldn’t let a bit of rain spoil Luton’s Big Weekend, and we were over the moon to receive a shout-out from presenter Greg James after helping out!”
Then in October a team from the company spent a whole repairing around 50 potholes on a section of the Luton Hoo estate used for the Luton Runfest’s half-marathon race around the town on Sunday.
Without our help, the popular community event was in danger of being cancelled as the course would have been considered unsafe.
Organisers Love Luton gave Ryebridge a shout-out on their Facebook page, and chairperson Linsey Sweet said: “This event was made possible by the outstanding support of Ryebridge.
“Their efforts in fixing several potholes across the Luton Hoo estate not only enabled a smooth and breathtaking run but also showcased our business community's ability to achieve great things when we come together.
“Their consistent support since our formation in 2010 has put Luton on the map for all the right reasons, and we couldn't be prouder to work with such an incredible organisation that always goes above and beyond for the town.”
