Team members at multi-award-winning, multi-franchise automotive company, Rygor Group Ltd, donned their wellies recently, to plant the first of five hectares of wildflower meadows, in partnership with wildlife charity, GreenTheUK.
Planting has taken place close to five of Rygor’s sites, and the first area supported by the Group was located at Long Lane Recreation Ground, Stanwell – close to Rygor Auto Heathrow Van, Rygor Auto Heathrow Truck, and newly opened Rygor Mercedes-Benz, which supports passenger car customers in the Heathrow area.
Xanthe Caldecott, Co-Founder and MD at GreenTheUK said: “We are delighted to partner with Rygor as it supports its local communities with the creation of five hectares of wildflower-rich meadows. We want to help everybody to work together to combat climate change and protect and restore key habitats for the future. We hope other businesses will follow the example of companies like Rygor”.
In addition to investing in GreenTheUK, supporting wildlife in the communities closest to its sites, in Autumn this year Rygor Group Ltd. is gifting wildflower seeds to its team, to help them positively impact their own environments, supporting pollinators and creating an enhanced space that they can enjoy.
Aftersales Director, Sean Joyce, took part in the planting. Sean said: “We have a responsibility to do what we can to be more environmentally conscious and protect the earth’s future. We continue to focus heavily on our EV customer offering and provide expert support to customers looking to implement electric vehicles into their fleets”
Sean continued: “It was fantastic to see our team members getting stuck in with the planting. In particular, it was great to see our Heathrow apprentices investing time and effort in this event. They’re the next generation of our business, and EV is going to be their bread and butter. We’re currently recruiting for our 2024 apprentice cohort and looking at the success of this project, the opportunity to do community work like this is something we’re going to continue to offer our team.”
Rygor Heathrow Mercedes Benz service advisor, Mo Khan, who recently joined Team Rygor, said: “Joining Rygor has been really exciting as it’s such a dynamic business to work for. As the newest Mercedes-Benz Passenger Car franchised Dealership in the Heathrow area, we’re proud to support our local community and to help make it a beautiful space, where wildlife can flourish. We live here and work here, and I’m really pleased to work for a company that invests not just in its team, but in community spirit.”
