Brammer, the UK’s leading distributor of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, has made a major donation of materials for a refurbishment project at a hospice in Wolverhampton.
Brammer has supplied £8,000 of materials to replace lighting at the Compton Hospice’s coffee shop in Wolverhampton, as part of the Golden Envelope Challenge, a community project run by Tarmac.
The refurbished coffee shop was officially reopened by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Malcolm Gwinnett, along with Tarmac chief executive Terry Last.
As well as replacing the lighting, the refurbishment has involved redecorating and completely replacing the flooring as well as updating furniture.
Brynn Woods, Purchasing & Distribution Director for Brammer, commented: “Brammer’s National Distribution Centre is in Wolverhampton and we are always keen to support local charity and community initiatives. Some of our local employees have been touched personally by the work of the Hospice and we are delighted to be able to help its continued vital efforts through this donation.”
Simon Cater, corporate fundraiser at Compton Hospice, said: “The work has completely transformed the coffee shop, which we hope will make the venue a meeting place for people across the city, not just people who visit the hospice.
“The project will have a lasting effect not only for customers of the coffee shop but for patient care at the hospice.”
Terry Last added: ““It has been a pleasure to work with Compton Hospice and we are delighted that we have been able make a difference by refurbishing the coffee shop. I would like to personally thank all of the staff here at Tarmac for their hard work and our suppliers for their support.”
