Community
We are proud to sponsor endeavours in our community and get behind enterprises and teams to help them realise their goals.
We are lending our support to ensure that The Coast is Clear
Till the Coast is Clear is a South Devon social enterprise founded by environmental entrepreneur, Gary Jolliffe. The initiative actively tackles the problem of pollution plaguing the UK’s shorelines, using its customised boat to clear plastic and other water-born pollution from otherwise inaccessible locations. TTCIC also runs community and school education programmes to engage the broader community on the subject of waste treatment. Recently, the team has also been partnering with the National Trust to help clean up several of the Trust’s more inaccessible sites.

Sponsoring the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Rowing Challenge
CoGen was proud to be lead sponsor for the Astro to Atlantic all-women rowing crew, who took on the formidable challenge of rowing 3,000 miles from the Canary Islands to Antigua in December 2018. The crew, four women from South Devon who play hockey together, gave their hearts, minds, and bodies to the challenge, completing it in 45 days, 15 hours and 14 minutes. All donations raised by the challenge went to the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.
CoGen partnership supporting grass roots to top flight rugby
CoGen and our partner Ashfords LLP, a national law firm with its roots firmly in the South West, share a passion for developing and supporting our local communities. We support top flight rugby in the Westcountry through continued sponsorship of Kingsbridge Rugby Football Club (KRFC) as well as key players from Premiership Championship contenders Exeter Chiefs, James Kenny and Stu Townsend.
CoGen’s CEO, Ian Brooking, commented:
“It’s great to sponsor and support Devon’s top Rugby Club, Exeter Chiefs. Having grown up in Devon with a love for Rugby, these South West sporting teams are particularly close to my heart. To be able to contribute to the clubs success is a fantastic personal, as well as professional achievement.”
