CITROËN ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH CONSTRUCTION CHARITY BAND OF BUILDERS

• Citroën UK provides Dispatch and ë-Dispatch vans to Band of Builders to help it support and expand its charitable work across the country.
• Band of Builders is a construction charity dedicated to supporting tradespeople facing life-changing circumstances after illness or injury, by providing practical adaptations to their homes, along with financial and well-being support.
• Citroën ë-Dispatch is part of the Citroën ë-LCV line-up – which offers 100% electric versions of every vehicle in the Citroën LCV range: ë-Berlingo Van, ë-Dispatch and ë-Relay.

Citroën UK has announced an all-new partnership with Band of Builders, also known as ‘BoB’ for short.

The partnership will see Band of Builders use Citroën Dispatch and ë-Dispatch vans to support its projects around the UK.

Band of Builders delivers life-enhancing projects, as well as financial and emotional support, to those who are dealing with life’s most challenging circumstances. The partnership will allow the charity to increase the number of people and projects it can support.

Projects taken on by Band of Builders ranges from the installation of ramps to improve accessibility, through to full home renovations and landscaping projects to support the needs of beneficiaries. The Citroën Dispatch and ë-Dispatch vans will allow the charity to transport materials and equipment to sites across the country, and further support the reach of the charity’s work.

Band of Builders CEO, Gavin Crane, said: “We are proud to partner with Citroën UK and we are looking forward to taking our fully liveried Band of Builders Dispatch and ë-Dispatch vans on the road to projects, meetings, and events up and down the UK.

“This partnership signifies just how far our charity has come in a few short years – because as well as having an incredible base of dedicated volunteers, businesses like Citroën UK are seeing the work that Band of Builders does and are offering innovative solutions to help.”

Greg Taylor, Citroën UK’s Managing Director, commented: “Band of Builders changes lives up and down the UK – so to be able to support the charity expand its reach is absolutely fantastic. Watch out for the distinctive Dispatch and ë-Dispatch vans when they are out and about in the coming months, helping the whole team make a difference right across the country.”
