Children at Boughton Heath Academy, Chester were asked to draw a picture showing what they thought could be transported in a Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals van, as part of the Jolly Art Project, with the school also receiving £500 to spend on art materials.
Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals supplied the school with art pads and children sketched their ideas, which included the contents of a house move and an elephant being transported to the zoo.
Judges, including the headmaster of Boughton Heath Academy, Steven Ellis, and Mark Hughes, group managing director of Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals, chose the top three designs.
Daisy Hearne, age eight, sketched the winning image, a giant mermaid that has been printed onto the side of the van by APH Signs, Wrexham.
Two runners-up, Sophie with a map design and Isabelle Bird with an elephant design, both received an art pack, supplied by Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals.
The three winners also received a printed canvas wall-hanging of their image.
Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals is also providing the school with access to a live tracking system that will be fitted inside the van and will enable children at the school will be able to view the van’s location on an interactive map for the next 12 months. The first stop a weekend booking in the South of France.
Jolly Good Vehicle Rentals is planning to work with more local primary schools in the future.
Mark Hughes said: “We are planning to work with one school per branch each year and we will also be donating £500 to each school to spend on art materials once the project is completed.”
