24/06/2010 Fitzpatrick Woolmer to host event in support of Love Parks Week

This week Fitzpatrick Woolmer, leading nationwide providers of creative sign and design solutions to the heritage and public sectors, announce they will be hosting an event in support of Love Parks Week.

"As a business we are keen to show our support for Britain's green spaces - something our involvement in Love Parks Week provides the perfect forum for. Green spaces play a vital role in people's everyday lives and are essential to each and every community, so like any green space enthusiast I am keen to see them receive continued investment." Comments Fitzpatrick Woolmer Managing Director, Mark Woolmer. Mark adds "At Fitzpatrick Woolmer a great deal of our business involves parks and we are lucky enough to get to visit some of Britain's most beautiful spots. These places are invaluable - not only do they boost people's moral and provide a welcome escape from the strains and stresses of daily life, but amongst other benefits spending time in them also promotes a healthier lifestyle."

Fitzpatrick Woolmer Marketing Manager Melanie Scott comments: "Fitzpatrick Woolmer's Summer Picnic in support of Love Parks Week, for staff and their family and friends, will take place at Capstone Farm Country Park in Gillingham, Kent. The event will be held on the 29th July with activities including orienteering and fishing as well as a mini Kubb tournament - we will also be hosting a raffle to raise money for GreenSpace." Melanie adds "Everyone involved is very excited about the event which offers a great opportunity to show our support for what is a very worthy cause."
