Heart of the Community

Reece Group is honoured to have been awarded The Chronicle’s Champion Business Award in  recognition of its contribution to the local community.

At an emotional ceremony, which celebrated so  many moving and inspirational stories, Reece Group staff collected the award on behalf of the Group, its  engineering businesses and employees, the Reece Foundation and the Reece family.

They were joined by  representatives from a few of the many charities and organisations that the Group has supported over the last five years through its West End Fund.

It was also one of three companies shortlisted for the heart of the Community category for the North East Business Awards.

Dianne Mackay, executive assistant, Reece Group, said: “We are proud to support the work of the many fantastic charities and organisations that are making a real difference to people’s lives and helping to inspire the next generation of North East engineers.”

Presenting the award, the judges said: “With engineering being the backbone of the North East, this is a champion business that deserves its award. “Committed to tackling the skills gap and inspiring the next generation of engineers, staff are involved in a number of STEM-related  programmes with local schools and they support a string of other causes that are grateful for their  kindness.”
