This year, the Builders’ Merchants Awards for Excellence is joining with the Rainy Day Trust to offer merchants the chance to win a terrific prize while raising money for a worthy cause.

At the Awards for Excellence luncheon, which is being held on Friday 22 November, a silent auction will take place where guests have the chance to win two corporate tickets to the Manchester United v Swansea football match being held on Saturday 11 January 2014.

The prize has been kindly donated by Reisser, in conjunction with the Rainy Day Trust.

The winner will be invited to attend a champagne reception at the match, a mini tour of the grounds before kick-off, and a four-course meal. Pre-match entertainment, post-match drinks and transport to and from the match will be provided.

The winner and their guest will also receive an overnight stay for two at the Alderley Edge Hotel, Cheshire.

The Rainy Day Trust charity helps people who have worked in the UK’s home improvement and enhancement industry, including businesses such as DIY shops, hardware stores, builders’ merchants, garden centres and all the manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the UK who supply them.
