5 Tips for Running Your Best Race

With over 12 years’ experience, Raffles is a bespoke kitchen, bathroom and bedroom supplier. As a family run business, we like to offer a personal touch to each of our designs and installations. We offer a bespoke service which entails us visiting your property to carry out a complimentary survey. We then invite you into our showroom for an appointment to review your designs and quotation with a member of our design team. We can offer a full installation service, or we can supply your kitchen or bathroom and work alongside your own installer. Raffles has four fitting teams, some with over 30 years’ experience, and they can install bathrooms, kitchens and bedroom furniture. We can also offer smaller building work such as removing internal walls or installing a window, as part of your kitchen or bathroom installation. Raffles works closely with various suppliers within the kitchen industry including Kitchen Stori and TKC for furniture and Silestone and Caesarstone for worktops, alongside many others. We can also help with kitchen appliances and many other aspects of electrical work. When it comes to bathrooms, Raffles offers a full service including tiling or wall panelling and flooring. We work with brands such as Roper Rhodes, Calypso, Crosswater, Waters Baths, Burlington, Imex Ceramics and Roman Showers. Please feel free to contact us for more information or to discuss any aspect of a new kitchen or bathroom.

X esure colleagues are taking on the Run Reigate 10k or Half Marathon this year, raising money for our charity partner Brake, the road safety charity. We will also have members of our team in the Event Village on race day, providing a printout of your finishing time. Make sure to pop by and see us!

WTW has always been a big part of Reigate. As well as being a major employer, so many of us live in the town and the surrounding area. I am therefore really pleased that we are once again sponsoring Run Reigate this year.

I’m David Neumann and I’ve been a runner for many years, initially to keep fit for playing hockey, but it has become much more important to me over time. I run for many reasons, but the primary one is my own well-being. I ran my first half-marathon in 1988 (Wimbledon) and my first marathon in 2000 (Stockholm). I think that was also when I first ran for charity and raised several thousand pounds, as I was working with many well-off (but also very generous) city bank workers. It is very rewarding to know that your effort is benefiting a worthy cause, though it never actually seems to make me run faster ☹

Ready to do something special? Run for St Catherine’s Hospice! Perhaps you’re already registered for Run Reigate? Or maybe you’re wondering whether to run again this year? Either way, why not join #TEAMStCH on Sunday 17th September and raise money to support people in your community.

Hi, I’m Amie Johns, the Marketing Executive at The Lucy Rayner Foundation and I ran for Run Reigate in 2022. After having never ran before, the lead up to the event was daunting but the thrill of a new challenge and the importance of the cause quickly balanced that out.

SASH, a tale of teamwork and community spirit.

2023 is the second year of three that Andrews are headline partners and we are extremely proud and excited to be supporting this event again. It is a fantastic opportunity for our local branches to support a popular and local event with a strong community and charity focus.
