One of the industry’s most fun and dynamic events, this year’s Pavestone Rally is currently underway, with a veritable convoy of industry bangers undertaking an unforgettable journey through Europe, all in the aid of charity.
Participating teams of merchants, suppliers and other industry bodies were required to simply buy a road-legal car for under £500 (the cheaper the car, the more fun!), dress it up and take to Northern Europe’s greatest roads and cities for four days. Decked out in fancy dress with challenges to complete along the way, the teams not only have loads of fun but raise loads of money as well (the 2023 Rally saw teams raise over £210,000…), all in aid of five deserving charities – Teenage Cancer Trust, Variety, Crash, Lighthouse and the Marine Conservation Society.
After a short drive through France, Belgium and Holland, the Rally kicks off in Dusseldorf, Germany before heading onto Berlin. Taking in some stunning scenery, Malmö in Sweden is the next destination before heading to Hamburg, then finishing the epic rally in Amsterdam with a Gala Dinner!
One of the Rally challenges has been set by home security specialist, Burg-Wächter. Each crew has been given their own padlock, which has five different codes – and each code is a clue that together will open a safe waiting in Amsterdam containing a prize of £150 and, as a bonus, if the winners donate their prize to the Pavestone Rally, Burg-Wächter will double it to £300!
Andrew Field, Managing Director at Burg-Wächter UK, said: “We’re very happy to support the fun and fundraising efforts of the Pavestone Rally and help raise much needed funds for these great causes. Good luck to everyone!”
Event organiser, Talasey National Sales Director Aaron Frogley, posted on LinkedIn to explain how the industry can lend its support to this year’s Pavestone Rally endeavours: “Every morning we’ll be going LIVE on Facebook from the start line!
