Rotec Hydraulics is proud to support The Poppy of Honour Pavilion, a unique National and Commonwealth Memorial dedicated to British and Commonwealth Servicemen and Servicewomen listed as killed or missing in World War 1.
The contribution from Rotec Hydraulics will help ensure the legacy of these brave individuals is appropriately honoured and remembered for generations to come.
The Poppy of Honour encases 1,117,635 individual hand-written remembrance poppies and will be going on its final tour before it is displayed in the new pavilion at Maidenbrook Country Park in Taunton – less than 5 minutes from Rotec’s Headquarters.
