Distributor Mayflex has successfully raised over £1500 for Acorns Children's Hospice. Acorns cares for children who have life limiting or life threatening illnesses and their families across the Midlands region, at its three hospices in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester, and through a community team.
The company's annual corporate golf day, which took place on the 5th June at The Menzies Welcombe Golf Course, in Stratford-upon-Avon, successfully raised over £1000 from the sales of raffle tickets. A large number of Mayflex's key suppliers donated prizes ranging from luxury food hampers, crates of wine to an I-Pod Touch.
Tracey Calcutt, Marketing Manager of Mayflex, commented: "Our customers were exceedingly generous when purchasing raffle tickets at our golf day. This money got us off to a great start. We have also conducted an online customer survey which saw Mayflex donate £10.00 for every completed survey received. The combination of the two activities actually gave us a grand total of £1590."
Mike Tague, Acorns' Regional Fundraising Manager, said: "Acorns relies on fundraising for most of its income. Donations like this are wonderful, and we're truly grateful to Mayflex for their dedicated support. This is an impressive team effort by Mayflex, whose corporate Golf Day was such a success. We are so grateful for all the effort that everyone is putting in - not least Paul Cave who has really got on his bike for Acorns."

You often find that the best dealers are former engineers who have a broad knowledge of the industry, who customers trust to give them sound advice and a solution that works for them.'
