This year’s Pavestone Rally recently reached the finish line in Monte Carlo, with the early indications suggesting that the epic industry event has raised in the region of an amazing £212,000 for the Rainy Day Trust, CRASH, Variety and the British Heart Foundation.
Featuring 33 teams from across all quarters of the industry, the four-day, cross-continent banger rally from Ghent to Monaco — complete with fancy dress, madcap challenges and incredibly inventive car designs — saw ‘The Smurfs’ from Palladium Building Supplies (aka Keith, Nick and Sylvain) prevail as the 2023 Champions!

Writing on LinkedIn, Aaron Frogley, event organiser and Merchant Sales Director at SIG UK, said: “What an exhilarating journey it’s been! The 2023 Pavestone Rally from Ghent to Monte Carlo was a true test of endurance, wit, and camaraderie.
“I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the incredible teams that participated in this remarkable adventure. Together, we not only conquered the roads but also raised an astounding £212,000! These funds will be split among some fantastic charities: the Rainy Day Trust, CRASH, the British Heart Foundation and Variety.”
Aaron added: “This journey wasn’t just about the miles we covered; it was about the hearts we touched and the lives we impacted. The passion, dedication, and generosity displayed by everyone involved is truly inspiring.
“We will be back in 2025! If you’d like to find out more please email pavestonerally@pavestone.co.uk”
