CRA AGM and 30th Anniversary
On Friday the 9th November 2018, the Concrete Repair Association welcomed both Alliance Members and Guests to celebrate in style for this year’s anniversary dinner at Altitude, London. Marking 30 years of success and brilliance within concrete repair, CRA enjoyed an evening of celebrating the Association and individuals within the concrete repair and refurbishment industry.
The day commenced with the CRA’s Annual General Meeting, in which members were able to reflect upon the past success of the Association and its potential for the future.
Once the matters of business had concluded, the celebrations could really begin. Guests were treated to a cruise along the River Thames to watch the sun set over London over a drink – or two!
To round the day off, guests made their way over to Altitude London, part of Millbank Tower, with views of the London skyline and Thames which were the perfect backdrop for a fantastic evening. They were welcomed with a drinks reception and live music by the Jazz Girls, who performed a wonderful range of pop and classic hits.
Next, it was time for dinner. Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course meal of duck terrine, roast chicken, and a chocolate bombe to polish the meal off.
A special mention for Keith Barrow from Volkerlaser. Keith has been on the CRA’s executive committee for the last 15 years, whilst also taking on the role of chairman between 2015 and 2017.
During the CRA’s 30th Anniversary celebrations in November 2018, Keith was presented with the Kevin Coulman award which recognises services to the CRA and the industry.
Keith said: “It was a tremendous honour to receive this award. It wasn’t expected at all and when I look at the names of past recipients on the shield, it is a humbling experience. The CRA is a strong organisation and I am delighted to have a continuing role to play in helping to shape the future of the association and the industry.”
