Designer, Author And TV Presenter Max McMurdo To Become GlampAid Ambassador
GlampAid – the Glamping industry charitable trust – is thrilled to announce that TV presenter, Upcycler and Designer Max McMurdo will become its Ambassador.
Max runs the award-winning reestore which won funding on BBC’s Dragons’ Den from Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis. The company also featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces in 2012. Max, who is also a best-selling author, is now sharing his time between managing reestore, and working as a TV presenter on Channel 4. He also recently unveiled his new show, “My £10k Holiday Home’ on ITV alongside Julia Bradbury.
GlampAid, was launched by International Glamping Business and Kerry Roy of Camp Kátur with the aim of uniting the Glamping Industry in fundraising efforts to support those less fortunate. GlampAid has chosen its first charitable partner; AidBox Community – based in Bristol – which does inspirational work supporting asylum seekers and refugees in the UK and in camps abroad. GlampAid will receive its official launch at the upcoming Glamping Show which will take place at NAEC Stoneleigh Park from September 20-22.
“It’s an absolute honour to have been invited to be an Ambassador for GlampAid,” says Max. “I can’t wait to get involved in the fundraising work and hopefully inspire those involved in the Glamping industry to donate any unused equipment they might have; to be used by people who have left their homes because of conflict. For an upcycler like myself, I find the idea of reusing tents, bedding and other equipment very satisfying indeed!”
“We are thrilled that Max has agreed to be our Ambassador,” adds Steph Curtis-Raleigh, Editor of International Glamping Business. “He has supported The Glamping Show from the beginning, as a speaker and an inspiration to us all. He was the top of our list to work with on this project!”
