This October, Vanliners will proudly host the Dave Rees Memorial Ball, bringing together friends, family, customers, suppliers and the wider community to celebrate the life and legacy of our founder, Dave Rees.
Taking place on Saturday 3rd October at The Brick Community Stadium, the event will honour what would have been Dave's 60th birthday while raising vital funds for Wigan & Leigh Hospice, an organisation that provided incredible care and support to Dave and his family during his final days.
Dave founded Vanliners over 30 years ago with a simple vision, built on hard work, quality craftsmanship and putting people first. What began as a one-man operation grew into one of the UK's leading commercial vehicle conversion specialists, but for those who knew him, Dave's greatest achievement was creating a business where people felt valued and part of something special.
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring a welcome drink, a three-course meal, live entertainment, a charity auction, raffle and much more, all with the shared aim of helping Wigan & Leigh Hospice continue providing compassionate care to local families when they need it most.
Every ticket purchased and every donation made will be donated to Wigan & Leigh Hospice to support the amazing work that they do.
