Speller Metcalfe and Forces Support collaborate over chairs!!

Funny thing happened at a meeting last Wednesday!!

Last week Sallie Ryan (SEWM) and James Speller (Speller Metcalfe) had a membership meeting, which all went very well…. then James said, ‘don’t suppose you could use 200 office chairs could you?’.

Always one for a challenge, and conscious of doing our bit for social value, Sallie replied, ‘give me an hour (or two)!’.

The result has been Forces Support today collecting the aforementioned 200 office chairs from a site refurbishment that Speller’s are delivering at the moment in Worcester!!

We wanted to say a huge thank you to…

• James for thinking of us and being determined that not everything from a construction site has to go to landfill!
• Ed, in the high vis jacket, for getting them all ready for collection at 8.30am this morning!
• Matt and Neil from Forces Support for making more than one trip, as they’re also now helping to clear and recycle other furniture items in addition to the chairs!

All the money raised from the distribution and sale of the office chairs will support families who have been affected by loss or disability of service personnel.

This is what we love at SEWM…. members working together to make life a little better for everyone!!
