RAYMOND Brown is again sponsoring Ringwood Carnival.

The group, which has just been shortlisted as one of three finalists for Hampshire’s KPMG Company of the Year Award, handed over £500.

Pola Brown has also made a generous personal donation.

Divisional director Kevin Valentine said: “I am thrilled to be presenting a cheque to Ringwood Carnival on behalf of the company.

“So many of our employees and their families attend the carnival year on year, and we are delighted that we can support and be associated with it again.”

This year’s carnival takes place on Saturday, September 20, with the afternoon procession at 2pm and the evening procession at 7.15pm.
