The annual company barbeque raised over 60% of the final total. This was not only thanks to the feast laid on by the Jestic culinary team, but also due to the capture of many of the directors who found themselves locked up in the stocks.
The remaining money was generated from a series of summer hamper raffles which occurred at engineer training sessions and meetings.
Ben Dale, managing director at Jestic Foodservice Solutions, said: “I am thrilled to be able to donate such a fantastic amount to The Alzheimer’s Society, a vital source of support and a powerful force for change for everyone affected by dementia, and Crossroads Care Kent, who deliver care and support for those living with the challenges of caring unpaid for a family member or friend. This could not have been achieved without the generosity of Jestic’s amazing team of people who have once again dug deep when it matters most.”
