Foundation launched by Floorbrite
Linda Wyers, Chairwoman of Sale-based The Floorbrite Group, has announced the launch of a new foundation, set up to honour the legacy of her husband who passed away 10 years ago.
The Martin Charles Wyers Foundation has been created to provide funding this year to a number of Cheshire-based charities who will equally share all funds raised through the foundation throughout 2020. These are:
• The homeless through SPIN (Supporting People in Need).
• The Wythenshawe Trust who support families and individuals in need.
• Francis House who support and look after sick children and their families.
Each year, The MCW Foundation will choose new charities to support for that year.
Linda commented: “During Martin’s lifetime he supported many local causes, especially for young people in the community, and over the years Floorbrite and the family have continued to support local charities but we feel the time has come to take our fundraising to the next level.
“The MCW foundation will raise money to help people who are desperately in need, such as the homeless, vulnerable, disadvantaged families and people affected by life changing illnesses and we very much hope that our clients, suppliers, and staff will help support us in raising vital funds for our chosen charities.”
Martin Wyers founded Floorbrite in 1972, and today the company has a £20m turnover providing a full suite of facilities management provisions, employing more than 1500 staff across the UK.

Reducing plastic container use
Churchill Group has reduced the use of plastic containers in its cleaning division by 35% in the second half of 2019, a reduction of 291,345 plastic containers.
Churchill achieved this reduction by replacing its top five cleaning products with water-soluble sachets. Plastic reduction is one part of Churchill’s efforts to make sustainability a key focus of the business, which includes its ‘#MakeOneChange’ campaign and sustainability charter, which was unveiled in January 2020.
The water-soluble sachets enable cleaning staff to work more sustainably and in-line with the company’s wider approach to environmentally-sound FM services. Churchill recorded drastic plastic use reductions across all of its UK operating regions, with London and East Anglia achieving the biggest reductions.
Andrew Broderick, group QHSE and Sustainability Director, commented: “We are immensely proud of our strong sustainability record at Churchill. We’re constantly exploring ways to lessen our impact on the planet year on year and this huge decrease in plastic use is a big win. We look forward to further enhancing our status as leaders in the field of sustainability in FM throughout 2020.”
