WW Martin announce RNLI Margate as charity partner for 2023

As a longstanding Kent-based construction company, we take great pride in supporting the local communities in which we work. We are therefore delighted to announce that we have selected local lifeboat station RNLI Margate as our chosen charity partner for 2023.

Money raised will support the running of the station, which currently has 33 volunteer crew members and officials responding to emergencies at sea 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In announcing the news, Ian Posnett, Director, said:

“From speaking with our Senior Site Manager, Derek Amas, who is also the Operations Manager for the RNLI Margate Lifeboat Station and who has spent over 30 years as a RNLI volunteer, we know the passion and commitment the team at Margate have for the work they undertake day in day out.

“With the RNLI undertaking such vital services, their dedication and work is admirable, and this is why we have chosen them as our nominated Charity for 2023. We are proud to be working with them this year and look forward to raising funds to support the RNLI Lifeboat Station, Margate.”

On behalf of the RNLI, Derek Amas said:

“I could not be happier or any more grateful. The RNLI has been a huge part of my life for 30 years now and the support we receive from the local business community is fantastic. It helps us all at RNLI Margate, both volunteer crew and fundraisers, to continue with our work to save lives at sea.”
