Independent, family-run Midlands builders merchant Tippers has once again demonstrated its commitment to giving back as part of ‘The Tippers Way’ values.
In a show of solidarity with
Ukraine, the company has donated three generators through its Tool & Plant Hire division. These generators will provide critical emergency backup power during bombing raids and power cuts, helping communities maintain access to essential electricity when it is needed most. This donation builds on the generosity of Tippers’ customer, Mercer Farming, and their friends, who have already donated pickup trucks to support Ukraine’s front-line efforts. The company says that, together, the contributions from merchant and customer show the impact that can be made when businesses and their communities work side by side to support a vital cause.
