Meet the team from Zurich

Last year the floor in our Barry charity shop had become damaged. We had to close the shop and were looking at several weeks before we could get a company in to redecorate after the new floor had been laid. The team from Zurich stepped in and got it done no time which meant we could re-open the shop much earlier than we had planned. Gareth Richards from Zurich said:

It was our pleasure and happy to do anything to help, it was extra special for me to be able to help as my Nephew has cerebral palsy and has had treatment at the therapy centre. My sister said you guys are remarkable for the work you do, so it was nice to be able to give a little something back. I know the guys had a great time and you were so accommodating and couldn’t of done enough for us.
