A BRIGHTON company has donated £2,770 to three charities.

Amplicon is a global business with more than 40 years experience of manufacturing and distribution.

CEO Gina Citroni said: “At Amplicon supporting charities is an intrinsic part of our everyday working life.

“Throughout our 40 years in the manufacturing and engineering industry we have supported a number of charities over the UK.

“As part of our corporate responsibility we strive to support our local community with the intention of helping those less fortunate than ourselves.”

Its sales team plays a crucial role in fundraising.

For every £10,000 order booked they receive a £10 token and they have the choice to select any of the three annually chosen charity boxes.

This year the three charities were Remembering Spencer, The Martlets and Chestnut Tree children’s hospice.

Gina Citroni said: “These were chosen because of the significance of the work they carry out in the local area.

“The sales team through their hard work and determination during our 2016/17 financial year were able to donate £2,770 through this scheme, helping to provide valuable resources used to change the lives of others.

“Providing local charities with important funding and resource is one of the most fulfilling projects we have undertaken.

“I am incredibly proud of my team and their endless energy and generosity.”

Emma Knight, The Martlets head of corporate and major donor giving said: “The staff at Amplicon continues to support the work of The Martlets.

“Once again they have shown their wonderful support in raising and donating £820, and don’t intend to stop!

“The support of the community is vital to the continuation of the free, life-changing hospice care Martlets provides for people.”
