Hörmann sectional door for Ferryside Lifeboat

Hörmann UK has donated an LPU 42 sectional garage door to the Ferryside Lifeboat, based in Carmarthenshire, Southwest Wales.

Founded in 1835, the Ferryside Lifeboat operates in the Three Rivers Estuary and is one of seventy inshore lifeboats throughout the UK.

Working alongside the RNLI as a ‘declared’ search and rescue facility operating under the direction and coordination of the U.K.

Coastguard, the Ferryside Lifeboat, a vital independent organization, is crewed by volunteers from the village.

It is completely funded and maintained through donations.

Alongside the main lifeboat, Ferryside also operates a small Zodiac inflatable which is used for rescues at low water.

However, with no room at the main lifeboat station to store the inflatable a new site was needed on the waterfront to provide storage and to help speed up launches.

A small garage to house the boat has now been built, a testament to the community's unity and support, financed by donations and support from the local community.

Hörmann was approached by Ned Stephens, one of the crew.

As a builder, Stephens had experience with Hörmann garage doors and was aware of their quality and operational integrity.

Hörmann was happy to help and donated an LPU 42 L-ribbed sectional garage door finished in RAL 3000 Flame Red.

The new facility was officially opened on June 30th.
