Proteus leads support for charity boat race

The river-based festival is organised by the Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association, the second time the LRWA has held this good-natured contest. This year the event will raise money for mental health charity, Mates in Mind.

Jordan Bailey, Director of Proteus Waterproofing, said: “As inaugural winners of the LRWA’s Dragon Boat Regatta, we felt it was right for Proteus to step-up and lead the sponsorship of this great event. We look forward to crossing oars once more with our competitors on what I’m sure will be an extremely fun afternoon for everyone attending”
The regatta involves teams racing against each other in 30ft dragon boats. It’s open to all members of the roofing and waterproofing industry – regardless of their paddling ability. Last year’s event attracted 100 entrants and it’s hoped a similar number will attend this time around.

Jordan Bailey added: “The Dragon Boat Regatta is a wonderful opportunity to meet with colleagues throughout the industry and have fun raising money for a worthwhile cause. We look forward to the battle commencing once again.”
