On Thursday 27th September, Sims Metal Management hosted a community event for the Sandbach Rotary Club. The aim of the event was to provide the Rotarians with an insight into our industry.
Held in Manchester the clubs group, which included the Mayor of Sandbach received a presentation and undertook a tour of our Manchester site. After a greatly received lunch the group were invited to take part in a competition and were given ‘goodie bags’ to take away.
The day was essentially a charitable / community initiative as the Rotary Club do great work whose stated purpose is to ‘bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world’.
“Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are non-political, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.”
Feedback from the group was very positive and the president expressed his appreciation to Sims Metal Management for a great insight into the industry.
