Thames Materials drivers have undergone professional training courses to boost awareness of the hazards faced by cyclists on the roads.

A team of 20 drivers from Thames Drivers swapped the comfort of their driving cabins for cycles and found themselves wobbling unsteadily amid refuse lorries, coaches and a road-sweeper. Supervised by professional tutors and expert cyclist trainers, the day long training course backed by Transport for London was conducted at a bespoke facility in North London.

After a number of years sponsoring the Football Veteran’s XI, we are pleased to announce that Thames Materials, a local firm based in Uxbridge, have now increased their contribution to the club to become a significant sponsor of events and facilities over the next 2 years.

Thames Materials completed a sponsorship of Isleworth Colts U12’s football team, providing them with some new kits. A spokesman for Thames said “ We are keen to work with the local communities on deals such as these which encourages kids to get active”.
