One of Plymouth’s leading companies held its first family fun day in September.
A total of 400 family and friends of employees of Kawasaki Precision Machinery in Ernesettle enjoyed an afternoon of fun and laughter. The event was organised by Kawasaki to show their appreciation of their 270 plus employees and their families.
Despite a few early showers, the weather remained bright and young and old alike were treated to music from the Devon Youth Brass Band, cream teas and barbecue. There was everything from pony rides to face painting, as well as a magician and soft play for the younger children, while the bigger kids were treated to inflatables, soft archery and a bucking bronco.
Highlights of the day included managers in the stocks, shop floor tours and a visit from GT motorcycles with a range of Kawasaki motorbikes.
Blue Watch from Crownhill Fire Station also turned out for the event giving the children the chance to tour the appliance and have a ‘go’ on the hose! Each child went home with a goodie bag filled with sweets, Kawasaki piggy banks and more!
Kawasaki were proud to support the 110 Club – Improving Lives Plymouth, as its chosen benefactor, presenting the chairman Steve Whiteway with a cheque for £500 from raffle funds and donations made on the day.
There was also a grand draw for all employees attending on the day with a top prize of £500 cash with Barry Mayle picking up the cash!
Kawasaki thanked sponsors for their support on the day, including Peter Goord Travel, TQR, Exeter Chiefs, Plymouth Raiders, Acorn Recruitment, Fox House Retreat, Pierre Marco White Steak House, Crowne Plaza, Plymouth Argyle, Plymouth Gin and Redrok to name just a few…
