Giving Something Back

I believe this organisation does not do enough to protect the environment

All employees are recruited locally and local suppliers are used wherever possible and practical.

They have progressively reduced the amount of paper and marketing materials used by the company through greater thought on who needs what. All literature is printed on a wood free matt which is recyclable and environmentally friendly. Staff are encouraged to nominate a charity which will benefit from the donations from monthly dress down Fridays and other fundraising activities.
