In January the team at Finesse Windows of Kings Norton wanted to help raise some funds following the horrific bush fires which have devastated an area the equivalent of 40% of the size of the United Kingdom. Lives, homes, and up to one billion animals have been affected, including 30% of the entire koala population in mid-north coast of New South Wales.
Driven by the staff who wanted to show how the award winning business (In July 2019, we were awarded the Which? Trusted Trader of the Month award for the second time) stands by our ethos of “WE CARE”, the company embarked on a number of way to raise funds.
In January we started our #SQUATSQUAD2020 which involved about 10 members of staff paying to join in a daily squat challenge – starting at 20 squats and culminating in 100 squats each. A couple of the local sports clubs, Studley Juniors Under 13 F.C. and Firework Cheerleading squad, whom Finesse Windows sponsor and support decided to join in with the challenge also.
“It really felt like a positive family activity – so much so that we’ve decided to keep the ‘#squatsquad’ going… We get together every lunch time to squat and we are currently at 150 squats each daily”
Russell Bridge – Managing Director
In February to coincide with a Finesse Windows showroom weekend, we decided to organise a virtual charity bike ride from their factory to Lands End – a target distance of 276 miles again in support of the WWF Australian Bush Fire Appeal – the #BIKEBATTALION2020 was formed.
With our staff, a number of customers, alongside players from Aldridge RFC and Australian Rules Football Club Wolverhampton Wolverines who all were only pleased to put in a shift on the bikes and add some pedal power to the fund raising efforts. Cakes and coffee kept the intensity high, and they were pleased to cycle over 310 miles in total over the two days.
In total we have raised nearly £500.00 which has already been donated to the WWF Australian Bush Fire Appeal Fund. With the Finesse Windows Worthy Cause Campaign 2020 ongoing, in which we are going to donate £10000.00 to a local school to enrich the school for the benefit of local children for many years to come (Shortlisted schools will be announced in March with the winning school announced in April), it really shows that at Finesse Windows WE CARE.
