Over a single weekend, the Britannia International team swapped shirts and ties for boiler suits and work boots as they transformed the main reception, TV room and one of the dormitories at the Ardwhallan outdoor pursuit headquarters in Baldwin. With donations and support from other local businesses, the team introduced a vibrant new blue and white palette to replace the reception room’s dated two-tone peach and yellow decoration whilst the dorm room was given a more respectable white finish with feature black wooden beams. Paul Melling, Head of Outdoor Centres,said, “On behalf of all of us at Ardwhallan I’d like to pass on our greatest of thanks. It looks great and the team worked extremely hard.” Mark Beresford, Managing Director of Britannia International, added, “One of our primary community goals is to help inspire young people and there aren’t many better places on the Island for this than Ardwhallan Outdoor Pursuits Centre. Our staff had a great weekend and thanks to the generosity of local businesses were able to make a worthwhile contribution to the centre.” Manx businesses providing support and accessories for the project included Britannia International, Co-operative Food Stores, Talbot & Son Blinds, Buchanan & Pitts, City Plumbing, Discount Carpets, Shoprite, and Haldane Fisher.
