Humber Door raises £500 for Hospice
16th January 2018

A bespoke designed door created by HURST PLASTICS, featuring an image of the Humber Bridge to celebrate Hull’s year as ‘UK City of Culture, has sold for £500 in aid of Dove House Hospice.

Marketing Manager Hayley Barker, who visited the hospice to see how the funds will be used, said: “Hurst Plastics is a Hull business through and through and our local community means a great deal to us. Dove House Hospice looks after more than 1000 local people and their families every year and it was wonderful to learn that the funds raised will help the hospice provide essential patient care and support.”

Jethro Shearring, Fundraising Co-ordinator at Dove House Hospice, added: “We are reliant on generous donations from local companies like Hurst Plastics to help us continue our work. The Humber Door was a brilliant tribute to the city of Hull and a terrific fundraising asset. There was some competitive bidding for the door and we’re thrilled that it raised such a fantastic figure for the hospice”

The Humber door, which was manufactured at Hurst Plastics’ factory in Hull, features a photograph of the 2,220-metre long suspension bridge. The image was reproduced on to the glazed panel of the door using Hurst Plastics’ digital printing technology.
