Volvo raises £2,500 for The Lighthouse Club at Hillhead 2014

Volvo Construction Equipment used the recent 427 Hillhead 2014 event to showcase the imminent launch of the new Volvo Lego Technic model of an L350F wheeled loader/A25F articulated dump truck and raised a grand total of £2,500 (€3,150) for The Lighthouse Club raffling the only available model in Great Britain.

One of the latest remote-controlled models to come out of the Lego Technic stable takes the shape of a Volvo L350F loading shovel which can be converted into a 4 x4 model of the A25F articulated hauler. 3573 Volvo CE used Hillhead to showcase the two working models montaged in the bucket of a Volvo L60G wheeled loader on the stand.

Besides the two working models on show the company was able to raffle a third complete Lego Technic model over the three-day event with tickets being sold for £5 each and all proceeds going to The Lighthouse Club, the construction industry’s registered charity. In all £1,140 was taken in ticket sales which was then matched and topped up by Volvo CE to a grand total of £2500.

The draw for the model was presided over by Jack Berridge, director of Hillhead 2014 with the winning ticket drawn belonging to Steven Ford who works for 6850 Miller UK.
