IN2 Access and Control Ltd.’s fundraising event for Macmillan raised over £245 for the well-known cancer support organisation, a 36% increase from the previous year. The event was held at IN2’s Shropshire-based headquarters on 28th September to coincide with Macmillan’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ initiative. The IN2 team contributed their homemade baked goods to the company’s now famous ‘all you can eat’ cake buffet and made donations to enjoy as much cake as they liked – along with a cuppa of course. Other activities included a raffle and ‘pin the cherry on the cake’ game alongside a team lunch provided by the company. “Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is their largest fundraiser of the year, and we were honoured to play a part in it,” said Rhian Smith, IN2 Sales and Office Manager. “It was great to see team effort in participation from all departments.” added Rhian. Macmillan’s cancer support is a cause with personal meaning to many staff members, with services provided not just for those with cancer, but also for friends and family impacted by those affected by cancer.

As the NSBRC plays a major part in generating sales leads for us, we were delighted when they asked us if we would host the event. The overall feedback was very positive with attendees commenting on how beneficial the day was. Not only does it provide us with great exposure, but it’s brilliant to be able to speak about how important the centre is, and work to improve the experience of those visiting it.” Harvey Fremlin, managing director of the NSBRC, said: “As one of our biggest exhibitors, we were really pleased when Hörmann agreed to hold our Partner Day at their UK head office in Leicestershire. The event was a big success, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Hörmann for not only hosting the event this year, but for helping make it so interesting and insightful. We hope to continue our long-standing partnership with Hörmann for many years to come.” For further details about Hörmann and the services it offers, visit www.hormann.co.uk , or visit www.nsbrc.co.uk to find out more about the centre itself.
