Avocet Hardware has helped to raise a total of £4080 for Macmillan Cancer Relief that helps people who are living with cancer. Employees were encouraged to bring just one pound to work and donate it to the cause.

Two of the pioneers of the fundraising effort, who were interviewed on local radio Huddersfield Home FM, are employees at Avocet who have both been affected by the disease. Technical Manager, Dave March successfully overcame lymphatic cancer ten years ago and recently celebrated his wedding. Health and Safety Manager Veronica Hills has experienced losing a colleague to cancer in recent years and both were eager to support the charity.

‘We are delighted to have taken part in such a worthwhile cause and to have helped to raise such a large amount of money,’ comments Stephanie Wright, Marketing Categories Manager at Avocet. ‘The scheme was organised by Dave and Veronica who both believe passionately in the work carried out by Macmillan Cancer Relief for patients and their families.’

As well as charity success, Cupid has been hard at work recently at Avocet Hardware. Three employees got married over the summer, within just weeks of each other.
