Looking back at 2017

2017 was an exciting time for R&B Star. We were highly commended at the EW Awards for Best Wholesaler: 2-5 Branches. The evening also saw our chairman Bob receive the Lifetime Contribution Award.

2017 also saw staff take on a number of personal challenges to raise money for charity.

• A team from Maidstone took part in the Dragon Boat challenge in Moat Park coming 21st out of 53 teams

• A team from Crayford took part in the London 12 mile Tough Mudder to raise money for Help the Heroes and Muscular Dystrophy. They tackled 20 very tough obstacles, including electro shock therapy.

• We held our 7th annual charity black tie event, it was great to see customers, suppliers and friends attend and help raise money for a charity close to everyone’s hearts – Muscular Dystrophy.
