PUPIL Charlie Hawkins is delighted his drawing of a recycling superhero has been placed on lorries in the Sheehan Group fleet.

Charlie, 11, who attends West Kidlington Primary School, was delighted to see his sketch and name on the door of a Sheehan Group lorry when he visited the school this week.

The sketch has been placed on several lorries to help promote recycling at the company’s Yarnton plant.

Fellow pupils Kara Axtell and Jessica Sikorska also received book tokens from the Sheehan Group as prizes for being runners-up.

The competition took place as part of a series of visits and workshops at the school by the Sheehan Group to educate youngsters on the benefits of sustainable living.

Children were treated to a special reading of the story of Captain Envirotron and the battle to save planet earth, by its author,Tara Sheehan, finance director at the Sheehan Group, a recycling and construction firm. Ms Sheehan wrote the children’s book to further educate youngsters on the value of recycling and the Sheehan Group has donated copies to several school libraries across the county.

Ms Sheehan said: “Recycling and sustainable construction is at the heart of the Sheehan Group’s values. The visits to the school were great fun and we enjoyed sharing our passion and knowledge. Hopefully the colouring-in competition and the book has helped generate an interest in recycling among children and parents in Oxfordshire.”

Charlie Hawkins said: “It’s great to see my drawing on the trucks - I didn’t really expect it. It’s been great to learn about recycling and how important it is.”
