Business News Charitable trust’s fruitful efforts
Since 2010, Rotherham-based manufacturing company AESSEAL has worked alongside local charity South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation (SYCF) to establish the AESSEAL Charitable Trust, providing long term support and immediate grants and donations.

Working in partnership with
