RS Snowdon Charity Walk
-
- RS Recovery Snowdon Charity Walk
Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust provides babies, children and young people aged 0-18 years who have life-limited or life-threatening conditions and associated complex needs with a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support. Children visit Acorns for respite, short breaks, end life and emergency care whilst providing families with a much-needed break from caring around the clock. This support is offered from three hospices based in Worcester, Birmingham and Walsall, as well as in the family home and community.
On the 13th November 2021, our RS Recovery team will participate in a Charity walk up Snowdon. The route we will be tackling is the PYG Track. This track is the most rugged and challenging of the six paths?.
We have decided as well as a team-building exercise; it would be a great idea to raise money and awareness for a brilliant charity- Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust. Over the years, we have worked closely with this charity, and we believe it’s a great cause to support.
Any donation would be hugely appreciated!

Contractor Of The Year award
We won Outstanding Contribution Award as well as Contractor Of The Year 2017 from The RAC at an awards ceremony held at The Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, London.
It was fantastic to receive recognition for the hard work of our Control Team, Recovery Drivers and Technicians.
“RS are incredibly reliable, very professional and a real pleasure to work with. Despite commercial recovery being complicated at times they always work to a high standard. I would love to replicate the drive and enthusiasm of RS across our Network.” – The RAC
Also, a big thank you to our customers for helping us to constantly improve our service that we’re then able to apply across the business.
HGV incident on the M5
On the 3rd January 2018, RS Recovery were called late in the afternoon to attend a major incident involving an fully loaded HGV on the M5. A HGV was overturned and been on fire, which devastated the entire vehicle. Prior to our arrival, the emergency services had put out the fire and once it had cleared, it was apparent that there was no remains of the vehicle apart form the steel structures and debris.
We executed a plan in agreement with Highways England to ensure the motorway was able to be opened the following morning, with enough time for the highways services to undertake necessary roadworks.
Due to the condition of the HGV it was a thoughtful and time-consuming job that involved removing amounts of debris and cutting large sections of the vehicle. We employed the help of a specialist grab hire company to clear the debris and gain access to the vehicle. Once the majority of the burnt debris was cleared, the tractor unit was split from the trailer and loaded on to a low loader. As the trailer was a double deck, sections of it needed to be disassembled and cut to ensure it could be safely transported away from the scene. Once this was complete, it was lifted by 2 of our vehicles and loaded on to another waiting low loader.
Once placed on to the low loader, the sections of the trailer were secured and the load was escorted back to our base.
We understand the driver was pulled out by a member of the public and taken to hospital as a precaution.
Great North West Truck Show
RS Recovery will be attending the Great North West Truck show on 15th and 16th July at the Etihad Campus in Manchester. The event is a charity fund-raiser for The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity. We’ll be attending with a few of our vehicles for display. Come and join us, for what will be a great weekend for a fantastic cause.
