Jacqueline Rae, Chief Executive of Colyer Fergusson, commented on the significance of their support: “Colyer-Fergusson’s close relationship with ellenor hospice dates back several decades, both as funders and as friends. The Trust’s key aim is to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Kent and Medway, and what better way to do that than by supporting ellenor’s new Wellbeing Centre, which will help families and friends to be together, to have some normality through unimaginable times.”
The ceremony also served as an occasion to acknowledge the dedication of the workforce, unite everyone involved in the project, and celebrate the progress made.
Hospice staff and key supporters, along with representatives of the construction team and project partners, came together to celebrate the ‘topping out’ celebration. Nicholas Fisher, Chairman of Trustees and Jacqueline Rae, Chief Executive from Colyer Ferguson, joined Mac Cheema, ellenor Chair of Trustees and Joint Managing Director of Barnes Construction, Mark Hart, on the roof of the new hospice building, to lay the last roof tile.
Mark Hart, Joint MD of Barnes Construction is pleased with the progress being made and explained,
“We are delighted to be marking this topping out milestone, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all the team. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this significant achievement.”
