The Leader February 2024

Hi there,

As February comes to an end, we reflect on the strides we've made serving the manufacturing industries emphasizing our core pillars: sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility.

We've had a busy month of CSR events such as our team fundraising for our chosen CSR charity for 2024: Breast Cancer Now. We held a Valentine's fundraising bake sale, with proceeds supporting Breast Cancer Now in its mission to stop breast cancer from taking lives, ensuring that every person diagnosed receives the best possible treatment and care. Donate to our cause here

We also had the privilege of stepping outside the office and doing volunteering for? Whitechapel Mission. Our day began early, preparing and serving breakfast to those in need. It was a reminder of the impact kindness can have and the power of community. Find out more about the charity here
