We delivered a very successful and well received UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show and hosted our biannual SPA Gala Dinner where 240+ guests enjoyed great food/drink and entertainment from Hal Cruttenden who became auctioneer and helped raise nearly £20,000 for various charities. As today is World Mental Health Day I am delighted to confirm that we raised £14,000 for Mind the mental health charity … thank you for all the donations and generous bids on the night.
