Jardin trio to take on Dragon Boat challenge

On 10th September colleagues from across Logson Group will be taking part in the 130th anniversary celebrations of our parent company W&R Barnett by taking to a series of Dragon Boats on the River Lagan.

We’re delighted that Ross Neale, Operations Director; Shaun Fox, Head of Sales and Bob Koczulab, Managing Director will be representing us and are split across the three Logson Group boats meaning there will be plenty of Jardin Corrugated competition too!

The three teams are captained by Emma Edwards from Boxes and Packaging (Birmingham), Hannah Hosler from Boxes and Packaging (Manchester) and Ben Turton from Challenge Packaging. They will rally the troops on the day, all whilst raising money for the respective chosen charities.

Emma’s crew will be racing to raise money for Let Us Play, a Wolverhampton charity that provides craft, sport and play for children with Special Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Hannah’s crew will be taking to the water to raise money for Cure Leukaemia which funds research nurses at UK blood cancer centres, giving patients access to treatments through clinical trials.

Ben‘s crew will be paddling for Finley’s Touch which supports children with cancer across Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.

Bob Koczulab, Managing Director, Jardin Corrugated commented; “We are looking forward to supporting Emma, Hannah and Ben and each of us will be hoping our boats will take the winners trophy!

Each boat will have its fundraising matched as a minimum but if they progress through the competition, the amount increases at each stage. The winner will have their fundraising matched five times their total.

The last event took place in 2021 to celebrate the businesses 125th anniversary when our 3 teams raised over £25,000. One of the teams reached the semi-final too which meant further matching from W&R Barnett Group, and the total donated to Logsons chosen charities was £112,000.
