ABS wins Framework Agreement with Southern Water
ABS has won a new framework agreement with Southern Water for the supply of submersible pumps and associated services.
The Econosto team raised over GBP 600 for the Trust and included Peter Gamble, Integrated Business Systems Manager; Alan Fletcher, Econ Valves Sales Manager; Ricky Madelin, Warehouse Supervisor and Chris Wright, Apprentice.
Peter Gamble was first of the four to step over the edge of the eight-storey building.
He said: "It's important to take some time out to demonstrate our commitment to helping local charities and raising awareness of the devastating effects of diseases like Leukaemia".
"It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but once I was over the edge I really enjoyed the experience".
Family and friends turned up in their droves to offer their support, including Kerry Gamble, who stood out from the crowd after recently dyed her hair pink to raise money for Breast Cancer.
Rumour has it that the intrepid four have developed a taste for adrenalin sports and are planning a charity sky dive next March.
