ASH Drywall

We are pleased to report our man brought home the WIN!

As one spectator commented:

"A fierce fight where Sean handed a game opponent two standing eight counts to win on a unanimous decision. Well done Mr Ash, you deserve it." 

Violent footage may or may not follow...

The highlights video of the fight is below and you can find the full version here.

Tomorrow night, Saturday 27 April 2024, Sean Ash steps into the ring for his first ever bout.

He's making this extraordinary effort in memory of Terry Smith, one of ASH Drywall's long-time operatives, who sadly took his own life in 2023. Although we’ll never know what Terry was going through, his struggle did prompt us to spread the word about the important work of the Lighthouse Club, who are 100% dedicated to the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of UK construction workers and their families. 

As so much of the UK’s construction workforce is ultimately “self-employed”, many won’t have access to employer schemes, and the Lighthouse Club play an important role trying to plug this gap.

Sean is taking part in this Ultra White Collar Boxing event in memory of Terry, and to raise money for the Lighthouse Club at Horntye Park Sports Complex, Hastings and if you want to join Sean as a last minute sponsor or even come along to see the fight live then there's still time:

As many of you will already be aware, Terry Smith, one of our long-time operatives, sadly took his own life earlier this year. Although we’ll never know the exact reasons why, Terry’s struggle did prompt us to spread the word about the important work of the Lighthouse Club, who are 100% dedicated to the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of UK construction workers and their families.

As so much of the UK’s construction workforce is ultimately “self-employed”, many won’t have access to employer schemes, and the Lighthouse Club play an important role trying to plug this gap.

It’s with that in mind that I’ve signed-up to take part in an Ultra White Collar Boxing event, in memory of Terry, and to raise money for the Lighthouse Club. I was incredibly impressed by the efforts of ASH Drywall team members James Kay and Connor Steele who went into the ring for charity in November 2023, so have big gloves to fill!

The event doesn’t take place until 27 April 2024 at Horntye Park Sports Complex, Hastings, but please save the date for now. I’ll send round info on how to get tickets etc soon but, in the meantime, if anyone wants to sponsor me please go to the following webpage:

Thanks all

On Saturday 18 November, James Kay and Connor Steele, members of the ASH Drywall team, took part in an Ultra White Collar Boxing event at K2, Crawley.

Not only did our boys showcase their bravery getting into the ring, they also fought for great causes too, raising a combined £399 for Cancer Research UK and Mind, respectively.

We’re pleased to report team ASH Drywall came away with an undefeated record, picking up a unanimous decision in Connor’s fight and a (slightly contentious) draw in James’.

Congratulations guys on all your hard work raising money for two great charities and for doing yourselves proud on the night. 

Below are a few images of James Kay and Connor Steele in action.
