Christmas 2007
Professional Polishing Services Ltd has once again donated to our Managing Director’s chosen charity; The Air Ambulance Fund rather than send Christmas cards. Internally Staff also agreed to support The Acorns Hospice by ‘buying a bauble’ rather than buying gifts and cards and managed to raise more money than last year. Again this was then matched by the Directors. We wish you all a Prosperous 2008 and look forward to seeing what fundraising efforts happen in 2008.
Kirsty in the Race for LIfe - 3rd june 2007

Kirsty Davies and some of her female colleagues are attempting the Cancer Research Race for Life on Sunday the 3rd June 2007 at Sandwell Park. Whilst one or two PPS representatives – who shall remain nameless – are planning to walk the 5 KM course, Kirsty is going to run the whole way! She hopes to finish without the aid of an oxygen tent in 30 minutes or less, thus beating her record of 1 hour and 7 minutes for a 10 KM race she has previously done. All donations are gratefully received and you can sponsor Kirsty and the Team online via the link below – please remember to tick the Gift aid box!! Whatever money is raised will be matched by PPS.
Please give us your support and, on Monday the 4th June, sympathy for Kirsty’s aches and pains will also be appreciated. After all, she’s not as young as she once was! |
The Spirit of Christmas
Instead of buying our colleagues Christmas cards,
this year everyone at P.P.S. is buying a ‘bauble’ on a special
Christmas Tree poster, prominently displayed in our works.
Each ‘bauble’ on
the tree is being bought for £2.50 to display a personal message.
Extra donations are happily accepted and the Directors have pledged to
match the amount raised by Staff.
Merry Christmas!
All funds raised will
go to Acorns Children’s Hospice.
