Lock manufacturer digs deep
Multi point lock manufacturer, Paddock, recently raised £6000 for Children in Need.
Walsall-based Paddock Fabrications held a fancy dress day and encouraged its employees to gain sponsorship and raise funds via a raffle. Paddock’s employees were given the option to come to work in fancy dress – managing director Nigel Hutchinson said: “The whole company embraced the fundraising with some wonderful costumes, especially some of our male employees who dressed as women! Everyone had a fabulous day raising money for a very worthy cause. The company was happy to double the amount raised by everyone as well as providing prizes for the raffle.”
Paddock’s product range currently includes Lockmaster and Millenco. The business retains a strong UK manufacturing base, employing 230 people.
Nigel added: “Our employees raised a staggering £1,812, and this amount was matched by the company… our suppliers also contributed a further £2,000, making our total donation to CIN, £5684. Despite really tough times financially, our employees were very happy to contribute, which is wonderful!”
