Waste management company Grundon celebrated its 90th anniversary this month (July) by teaming up with Giffords Circus for a series of special performances in Windsor.
The south-east based company, which has remained in the Grundon family since it began in 1929, marked its 90th year in existence through the series of shows, which included performances from acrobats and aerial artists.

Over 2,000 people attended the six performances, and were also given the opportunity to view some of Grundon’s vintage vehicles alongside the latest additions to its CarbonNeutral fleet.
Milestone
Neil Grundon, deputy chairman of the Grundon family business, has been friends with Nell Gifford, founder of Giffords Circus, for over 30 years and says the opportunity to take over the circus for the weekend was ‘too good to miss’.
He commented: “We wanted to celebrate our anniversary and to say a big thank you to our employees, our customers, suppliers and partners and we also wanted to make it a family affair. Everyone has memories of the circus and we couldn’t think of a better way to bring all the generations together – this weekend was everything we wanted to achieve and more.”
Nell Gifford added: “It was a great honour to be invited by Grundon to take part in their 90-year celebrations. Giffords Circus is very proud to be associated with another family-run business.
“All the audiences over the weekend were incredibly enthusiastic and we had a lot of fun dancing with the various Grundon teams and family in the ring at the end of the show! It was fun having the Grundon vintage vehicles dressing our front of house and it was a weekend that I will remember for many years.”
