‘completely overwhelmed’

MIKE’S TRIBUTE
RAISES £16,000
FOR HOSPICE
Big-hearted individuals in this
industry regularly raise funds for
charitable causes in all kinds of
ways, but the recent achievements
of Emplas MD, Mike Crewdson, are
both impressive and touching.
Mike completed a 200 mile
coast-to-coast walk across
the North of England in
just 10 days to raise more
than £16,000 – almost
double his original target
- for St Ann’s Hospice in
Manchester.
Taking on the challenge
in memory of his late wife
Rosemary, Mike set out,
supported by colleagues
from the window industry,
from St Bees on the Irish Sea
on the second anniversary
of Rosemary’s death on 21
May.

He said: “We all know just
how special this industry is and
how many great people there
are within it, but I have to say
that I have been completely
overwhelmed by the support
I received both from the team
at Emplas and the industry at
large. It’s allowed us to exceed
our targets and raise in excess
of £16,000 for what I know
through personal experience, to
be an exceptional charity.
