Invitations to the event were also extended to local residents and stakeholders, including families from the Chipstead and Sevenoaks Football Club, who Skanska Balfour Beatty is sponsoring for the 2013/14 season.
The Festive Family Day was also attended by members of the Godstone Village Association, the Lions and local residents with young families. There was a lot for them to enjoy from face painting to the services of a caricaturist. Other attractions included rides on a miniature steam driven Foden truck, games on giant versions of Jenga and Connect 4 as well as a raffle and the opportunity to have a close up look at a fire engine, recovery truck, tractor and Highways Agency Traffic Officer vehicle.
The day was topped off by a visit from the traditional man in a red suit for the younger guests.
Jim McNicholas, Project Director for the Junction 5-7 project at Skanska Balfour Beatty, said: “We were delighted with the success of our Festive Family Day. It was a good opportunity for us to give something back to the local community as well as to the families of our team members.”
