Cooper Brouard put forward a team for this years Guernsey Marathon which leads runners around the Guernsey coastline all raising money The Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation. TEAM CB opted for the Mourant Relay Race which comprises 5 runners covering sections varying from 4-6miles. Our enthusiastic runners got off to an excellent start with Ross Yeates surviving the Val des Terres! He handed over to Liz Major at the Mallard who in turn had Harry Phillips run the next leg from Imperial to Vistas. With the weather now against them it was Kate Howlet who ran the coast road to James Starkey waiting at Pembroke. James crossed the finish line bringing the team in at a time of 3:50:33. 39th place overall in relay out of 70 teams entering and 23rd out of 44 mixed teams.
Pick of the litter
Cooper Brouard are this year participating in Womble 52. Under the umbrella of ‘The Clean Earth Trust’ the initiative of Womble 52 is to have 52 businesses, groups, organisations, sports teams or similar each committing to an annual week of wombling, so that the baton is always being held by someone in Guernsey throughout the year. November had a team with gloves on and bags at the ready focussing their clean-up efforts on Vazon Bay and St Martin’s parish. The Clean Earth Trust says “A wombling week is a great opportunity to remind ourselves how beautiful yet fragile Guernsey is and that if we are not careful, even if we are clean by international standards, we can end up with a very dystopian and polluted environment. There is need for constant vigilance.”
An eco-friendly move
Cooper Brouard have taken delivery of 2 new Nissan Leafs, increasing their fleet of all electric vehicles to 5. Director Matt Brouard comments “Since the arrival of our first all-electric car in 2017 we have been committed to converting our fleet to greener fuels. We believe in delivering a service that has a lower impact on the environment and our clients very much support our aims. On top of that the cars are superbly designed for island use and we all love driving them.”
