For years we have been involved in supporting charities such as Metro Radio’s Cash for Kids, CLIC Sargent cancer research, St John Lloyd community school and Walking with the Wounded, to name a few. We donated tens of thousands to these and other charities across 2019, with a special significant donation at Christmas 2019 to hospices in Leeds and Newcastle and also The Sunshine Fund, helping the latter reach its Christmas Appeal target. That made us feel really good!
We’re a big employer across the north, with our HQ on Gateshead Quays, a growing team in Leeds, and also offices overseas in Paris, Texas, Malta and India too. Many of our global people have family or friends who may suffer from challenging issues. As a business, we don’t take for granted being in this position of good fortune and focus on those less well off.
We also support Gateshead College apprentices and work with Gateshead Council on the Gateshead Works initiative to find suitable positions for people who may have become unemployed, but who have the right skills to help drive the business forward.
