On Friday 28th November 2014, Hampton Hill hosted their annual Christmas Parade! In the festive spirit, our Field Support Manager, Mike, dressed up as an elf to drive the new Express Drainage Solutions tipper in the parade.
Steel Band on Parade
We were asked if we would be able to drive our van in the parade, to transport the steel band playing Christmas songs. Hampton Hill high street was packed with people of all different generations ready to celebrate the turning on of the Christmas lights and to watch the parade come down the high street.
Mike was joined by his son, the director John Wilson’s three children and a three piece steel band on the back of the van as it went along the high street, making it a fun family event for everyone. Mike’s son was even allowed to drive the tipper!
It was a really good evening, enjoyed by all the staff at Express Drainage Solutions and especially by Mike, whilst he was dressed up as an elf.
We are looking forward to supporting the local community in 2015 when the next Christmas Parade comes round.
