Good afternoon,

I just thought I would pop on here and say thank you to the wonderful site team at Esh Winning.

This year, we at Esh Stantec decided to collect toys to donate to the Laffs4kids charity, as a friend of mine at Northumbrian Water has supported them for many years.  When the team heard what we were doing they immediately put their hands in their pocket.  This morning I went to collect the cash to go shopping for the toys.

Thank you guys, as always your generousity is very much appreciated.  I will spend your money wisely and keep you updated of our charity work.
