The BMF’s Burns Night celebration, which commemorates the life and works of Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns, is its biggest annual event in Scotland with over 300 people attending this year.
Guests enjoyed the traditional piping in and addressing of the haggis, by piper Rob Tait, before Nick Boyle, sales director of Jewson Civils and Frazer, gave the address to the Lassies and Lucia Di Stazio, group marketing strategy and communications director – Encon Group, replied for the Lassies. Mr Boyle also did sterling work compering the night’s live auction to boost the funds raised for charity.
“Once again the BMF’s Scottish region has organised a fantastic event,” said John Newcomb, BMF CEO. “Our thanks go to sponsors Velux, Talasey, Northstone, Stonemarket, Clark Drain, West Fraser, Aliaxis and Fakro for their generous support, and to everyone who helped to raise such a fantastic sum for Band of Builders.”
