Jobsite makes a splash on the South Coast
August 13, 2007 4:32 PM
I am really proud to announce that the lifeboat Jobsite has recently purchased for Portsmouth and Southsea Voluntary Lifeguards (PSVL) has already saved 3 lives and is on fast track to become somewhat of a south coast celebrity
Prior to its official launch this weekend, our boat 'Jobsite 1' was already making headlines on the south coast following the rescue of three teenagers during it's trial run with the lifeguards. The boat's actual official launch took place this Saturday, where a large crowd of onlookers, fellow lifeguards and press gathered on the beach to watch me officially name the boat.
Jobsite came to the aid of the PSVL earlier in July by providing them with a brand new rescue boat after theirs became damaged beyond repair. PSVL are a charity which receives no funding from the local council. So we bought the new £8,500 boat for the organisation outright.
We believe Jobsite 1 will become vital to local communities along the south coast during the months of April to October; patrolling the shoreline all weekends and seven days a week during school holidays. It also provides lifeguard safety cover for local sea swimming, extreme sports and public events such as the annual pier to pier race, Zapcat Southsea Grand Prix and Paratrooper spectacular.
Having been on the receiving end of valuable life guard assistance before whilst out with friends on the South Coast, I am personally delighted that Jobsite is now is a position to support and re-invest back into this fantastic organisation. As managing director of local business, I believe its vital that local companies put something back into the community. At Jobsite we are proud to work with local schools, local cricket and rugby clubs and now with the local rescue service to ensure we are investing in good local initiatives.
