AND FINALLY


TG Lynes supports children’s hospice


Colleagues at leading heating, plumbing and air movement materials supplier TG Lynes got their hands dirty to help refresh the garden of a Barnet children’s hospice.


Seven employees from TG Lynes visited Noah’s


Ark Children’s Hospice to help weed and tidy the outside areas in time for summer. TG Lynes was keen to offer practical support to Noah’s Ark as its charity partner of the year. The business raised £24,000 for the hospice over 12 months of activities headlined by a gala dinner.


Lindy McChesney-Tilley, management accountant at TG Lynes and one of the volunteers, said: “We were delighted to offer practical support to Noah’s Ark, which does such amazing work to help the children in its care.


“I’m proud that the company has raised so much money for Noah’s Ark and it’s great to complement that with hands-on assistance. The garden areas are a lovely space for families to have fun and reflect. A few hours of hard graft from our team really helped to make them look much better for everyone.”


Selco commits to offsetting tree scheme


Selco Builders Warehouse has launched the third phase of its tree planting project, planting 45,000 trees at Wooplaw Farm in Jedburgh on the Scottish Borders to create its latest ‘Selco Forest’.


Over the last two years, Selco has planted more than 300,000 trees including on a second site in Jedburgh and in Llandrindod Wells in Wales. The latest planting - on land totalling 24 hectare - will offset more than 3,200 tonnes of carbon during the trees’ lifecycle.


Carine Jessamine, Selco’s marketing director and head of sustainability, said: “We are committed to continuing our investment in the future by playing our part in protecting our people, the environment and the planet.


“We have already begun delivering on our long-term vision to use alternative fuel


vehicles across the entire Selco business and implementing a wider programme of many operational changes. We are delighted to have now planted 300,000 trees across three locations.”


The trees planted on the new Jedburgh site include Sitka spruce, Douglas fir and Norway spruce.

Selco has joined forces with the landowner and key timber supplier BSW Timber, together with BSW Timber’s subsidiary companies Tilhill and CarbonStore, on the project.
