The awards, which were held on 20th January to honour the industry’s finest orangery, conservatory or rooflight installations, spurred guests to dig deep in to their pockets to raise £3,500 for the Spring Centre in Gloucester. The funds will be used to buy much-needed specialised toys, which will boost the toy library at the Centre. The Spring Centre needs to raise £10,000 a month to support the families of more than 100 youngsters with disabilities and special needs throughout Gloucestershire. This donation from Atlas rounds off two years of fundraising by Atlas’ parent company the Customade Group which has raised a total of £48,000. Nick Gibbons, Customade Group Operations Director, explains: “This fantastic charity is very close to our hearts. My 13-year old daughter Niamh, who suffers from a genetic condition and needs 24-hour care, regularly visits The Spring Centre for essential respite care. We are delighted to have raised such a terrific amount of money for the Centre over the last two years.” www.atlasroofsolutions.co.uk/installation/ installation-of-the-year-winners Topping 5 Million » » GOLIATH HOMEWORLD – A founder member Network VEKA – is celebrating more than £5m in sales, registered directly through the two organisations’ partnership. 14 » A PR 2017 » CL EARVI E W- UK .
