Local entrepreneur says thank you for the music
Local businessman Gavin Dilkes, the founder and CEO of fast-growing Leicester recruitment firm Synergy Personnel Services Ltd (“Synergy”), has kept his promise to give back to his childhood brass band, the St. Peter’s Church Lads & Girls Brigade Band in Whetstone, Leicestershire.
Dilkes’ firm, Synergy, has sponsored the purchase of a much-needed bus and trailer for the St. Peter’s Brigade band. The new transport will ensure the long-term development of the groups’ and make it possible for band members to travel to and from events.
In bringing together a passion for music and the community of Whetstone, the locally based entrepreneur is delighted to give back to the brigade and people who inspired him always to do his best.
“Since I can remember I have always loved music and I have to credit the St. Peter’s Brigade for helping to stir that passion inside of me. The band leaders always taught me to work hard and consistently to do my best, and I think they also helped to inspire my drive to do my best in business too,” says Gavin Dilkes, CEO of Synergy.
“From day one of opening my company, I was clear that I wanted to create not only a successful business but also to build a company that gives back and supports the local community. I believe in the St. Peter’s Brigade bands. They represent a place where people can grow and thrive, from aspiring musicians to entrepreneurs alike,” concludes the local entrepreneur.
Since the age of seven, the Leicestershire entrepreneur has enjoyed playing the trumpet in the St. Peter’s Brigade, including performances at the coveted Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.
St. Peter’s bandmaster Paul Brown, explains why the new transport is vital for each group’s long term development.
“Gavin and the team at Synergy have shown a belief and commitment in our community band that is incredibly touching.
“We really cannot thank Synergy enough for its support; dedicated transport is crucial to the development and growth of the two bands. The group has grown significantly in numbers over the past few years and so has our programme of annual events, increasing the need to have our own dedicated vehicles. By having our own transport, we can ensure that no member misses out on the thrill of performing.
“St. Peter’s aims to continue to grow and develop both brigade bands. Our key goal over the next five years is for our training band to grow to over 60 members, with the ultimate aim of becoming Supreme Champions at our Annual competition.”
The St. Peter’s Church Lads & Church Girls Brigade Band is made up of 45 young people aged between five and 18 years. The groups meet in the Parish Centre every week on a Wednesday and Friday evening. Group activities vary for the different age levels, but they all have the common theme of fun, learning new skills, facing new challenges, and self-development within the Church of England. The bands take part in local and national events, and competitions.
