Specialising in the heaviest side of the merchant sector – civil engineering, drainage and large infra-structure projects, Keyline sits in what might be seen as the most male-dominated area, yet over the past few years has increased the number of women working throughout the company, from the trade counter right up to board level. The company has also implemented a number of initiatives to improve employees’ work/life balance and mental and physical health.

Inclusivity is one of the Five Core Values at Andrews, and Managing Director Natasha Rose is keen to push equality and diversity throughout the company. Having reached a personal milestone of a 50:50 male to female ratio in the Sales Team, Natasha has set her sights on levelling the playing field in roles even more traditionally associated with men – in the yard and driving, for example. Equality and Diversity training is being implemented across the two branches in 2020.
Amigos works with young people in Uganda providing education and vocational training in construction, among other trades. The tools donated will be used by the men and women supported by the charity, to give them the skills to help lift themselves, and their families, out of poverty.
The main objectives of the campaign were to:
To help Amigos continue the fantastic work it does with young people in Uganda, RGB installed ‘drop zones’ in each of its branches, and encouraged customers and communities to donate hand and power tools that were no longer being used.
A press release tailored to each branch was distributed to the media local to every branch, announcing the launch of the appeal, and explaining how donations could benefit the people helped by the charity.
To target the wider trade network, press material was also sent to construction focused media outlets, which resulted in the charity being contacted by tradespeople from across the country, offering to donate tools directly to the charity.
Posters were displayed at each drop zone and bulk bags were used for the tools to be dropped into. Amigos volunteers then liaised with RGB branch managers to ensure collections were made when bulk bags were full.
Results of the campaign…
The campaign resonated with RGB customers, with some buying brand new tools from branches, in order to donate. The press material reached the communities local to RGB, and drove a number of retail customers to visit their local branch for the first time to donate to the appeal.
Results were:
Testimonial from Phil Pugsley, Chief Executive at Amigos:
“This was a fantastic campaign and we are so grateful both to RGB and its staff for the wonderful support they provided, but even more so to the generous customers who have given tools. The impact these tools will make in Africa is beyond measure. Everyone who supported the campaign has played a big part in changing many people’s lives, and for that we can’t thank them enough. During the RGB appeal there were occasions where those who had lost loved ones, and were unsure what to do with the tools they left behind, found comfort in donating them knowing the items will be used to make a real difference to those in need.
