Speed SkaterHBPW’s managing partner, Paul Withers, has been playing his part in Team GB’s efforts to win another haul of gold medals…….but not by donning his jogging shoes and lycra one piece!

Paul, who also doubles as President of the Rotary Club of Retford, when he isn’t designing bridge schemes, presented emerging speed skating superstar Jacob Porter,15, with a cheque for £500 towards his training.

The talented Retford teenager is hoping for glory at a future Winter Olympics and asked local Rotarians to help him out with a contribution towards his training budget.President-Paul-and-Jacob-Porter

Paul said: “We were delighted to help Jacob who has clearly got a lot of talent and we are confident that he will achieve great things. If our donation speeds him up on the ice and towards success, then the Rotarians of Retford will be cheering him on at the TV set when he steps up to the podium one day.”
