Staff at Kelly Plant Hire have supported Midlands Air Ambulance Charity since 2018 during which time they've raised thousands of pounds which has covered the cost of 13 of the charity's lifesaving missions.
The management team at Kelly Plant Hire has a proven track record of giving back to charities that support the community where its head office is based. The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity resonates with the business as it's made up of staff who are based on construction sites or on the road with the management team stating “you never when one of us may need Midlands Air Ambulance Charity's support”.
Being connected to a well-loved charity has also helped to raise Kelly Plant Hire's profile plus its ability to demonstrate its CSR credentials has proved beneficial when tendering for new business.
Although Kelly Plant Hire is made up of a relatively small number of employees which could make fundraising a challenge, staff have worked tirelessly with Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to find ways they can provide support and add mutually-beneficial value to the partnership.
Staff have participated in numerous marathons and, pre-Covid-19, they turned out to support the charity's many networking and fundraising events such as its Recognition Award, Charity Ball and its exclusive Race Day at Worcester Racecourse.
The company has provided sweepers free of charge at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity's large-scale outdoor events, including at its Bike4Life Ride out and Festival.
