“You don't want anyone to go through what we went through, and if we can help close some of those gaps in knowledge, that would be hugely beneficial.”

“Suddenly, these events took on a whole new meaning. It was now very real to us.”

“I think dad would have been proud that we didn’t just say, “Let’s honour him for a year and be done with it.” We’ve made it something that’s become a real sticking point for us – something we want to continue year after year. My father was very proud of being a builder and delivering on quality. So to see what we’re delivering, I think he’d be quite chuffed.”
— Alf Marrocco
