Mulgrave Estate were honoured to receive an award presented by Chief Fire Officer, Jonathan Dyson and Mayor of York & North Yorkshire, David Skaith. This award celebrates the estate’s longstanding contribution to this vital lifesaving service releasing reservists for callouts and training. This commitment reflects values long championed by Lord and Lady Normanby, who have always believed in giving back to the community in meaningful ways. The event was attended by Ben Garstang our Estate Director & Ross Blackwell, Assistant Building Manager, Ross is currently our longest standing reservist having served 9 years, supported by Callum, Finley & newest recruit Shula, all members of the Mulgrave Team.

We would also like to take a moment to celebrate the equally important work of another member of our team Andrew, who volunteers as a Coastguard Rescue Officer. Like the fire service, the Coast Guard plays a crucial role - given our rural, coastal location - saving lives, often in the most challenging of conditions. To all those who serve—and those who have served before you—thank you. Your courage and commitment and that of your families does not go unnoticed.
