The company, which has helped to keep the country’s lights turned on and the wheels of industry turning throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, has kick-started the partnership with a £3,000 donation.

This has enabled the purchase of 18 new personal flotation devices to kit out the whole Bay Search and Rescue team.

Bay Search and Rescue is a volunteer all-terrain transport, rescue and recovery team.

For more than 20 years they have been involved in every major coastal incident around Morecambe Bay and life-threatening floods, snow and wildfire incidents across the north west.

They have also provided national flood support to DEFRA. The team supports all the emergency services and are renowned for their ability to travel to areas where no one else can, using Hagglund Tracked Amphibious Rescue vehicles, boats and four-wheel drive vehicles.

Last month it was announced that Bay Search and Rescue had been awarded the Queen’s Volunteer Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award a volunteer group in the UK can receive.
