Ribble Valley Ride is delighted to have Heidelberg Materials as our long-term sponsor, providing us with excellent facilities at the start point, including car parking facilities and the nearby Event HQ building for the provision of registration, toilet facilities and feeding station etc.
We are particularly grateful to Managing Director, Gary Young and to Safety and Compliance Officer, Craig Holt for their support and assistance over the years. It is difficult to envisage another local venue that would compare with what Heidelberg Materials so kindly provides.
The company is engaged in quarrying and the production of cement and is a major employer in the area. Look out for the logo on their fleet of tanker wagons.
