Vospers are working closely with Plymouth Albion Rugby Club to bring an offering of Tag Rugby sessions to Plymouth’s inner city primary school children.
The Vospers Tag Rugby Programme will run over the course of 10 weeks, across 12 local schools. Expert coaches from Plymouth Albion RFC and The Albion Community Project will lead dynamic sessions, nurturing teamwork, resilience, and rugby proficiency among students of all backgrounds and abilities.
The programme has been designed by the Albion Community Project to not only benefit the health and wellbeing of local school children, but to also align with Vospers’ commitment to community engagement and promoting positive values.
Max Venables, the Managing Director of Albion Rugby Club said:
‘By working in partnership with Vospers, we are now able to make tag rugby sessions accessible to local students. We are working together to foster inclusive participation and a growth of opportunities regardless of background or skill level.’
Vospers are proud to be partnering with the Albion Community Project to inspire aspirations and positive local rugby role models within the community. The programme is being rolled out to schools at the start of September 2024, with the first sessions due to start in January 2025.

As a business we produce a varied amount of waste from general to workshop oils to cardboard. In partnership with Slicker we are able to remove and recycle the majority of our produced waste. Although our general waste all goes into one bin it is recycled at Devon Contract Waste Recovery Center where it sorted and either reused or upcycled into something like plastic benches. This reduces any requirement to send to landfill which is costly and is now not environment friendly.
Oil and waste products from the workshops are collected by Slicker and oil is reprocessed into base oil products. These oils are then used in the production of new carbon efficient lubricants emitting 30% less CO2 then crude oil. When the oil market is good we get a rebate back on our removed waste oil.
Issued parts produce a large amount of packaging mainly cardboard and the company has invested in an industrial cardboard compactor at Marsh Mills to recover as much cardboard as possible. By using our parts vans, which bring the cardboard back to Marsh Mills on their normal daily trips we are able to bale the cardboard reducing the number of waste bins on site and selling the cardboard on to be recycled. The saving of not having bins for cardboard to be placed in is over £25K and so far we have recycled 45 ton of cardboard in 2022 which is equivalent to the weight of 6.5 African elephants.
At our Vospers Marsh Mills site we have a 50kW PV system to supplement electricity usage, for the first 8 months of the year our Marsh Mills site has consumed 288 MWh of power or 123,000 kettle usages. To help offset this usage our solar panels have produced 39.9 MWh of power offsetting electrical usage by 10%, they have also saved 10300 Kg of CO2 which would be equivalent to 480 trees being planted. As part of the investment in PV, in 2022 we installed a 100 kW system at Marsh Mills and a 230 kW system at Matford.
Vospers have investigated areas of high usage and have undertaken the following
