On Thursday 17th November 2011 Amelix Telecom sent some of its team down to the Canterbury Christmas Light switch on in the centre of the city with big purple collecting buckets to raise money for BBC’s Children In Need appeal. Our Happy Connections Team, who usually visit businesses helping them save money on thier telephone bills, turned thier hands to shaking buckets as the crowds gathered for the City’s Christmas Switch On Event.
Amelix sister company Amelix Events staged the switch on event for Canterbury City Council, and also co-sponsored the activity with Roper Place Canterbury’s new interior design quarter.
In total the Amelix Telecom team raised over £250 for Children In Need from collecting in the High Street. Louis Hurst founding Director of the Amelix group has also pledged to donate all profits made on Friday 18th November 2011 from its Telecom business to the cause so every Amelix Telecom customer that uses thier phone today will be helping Children In Need.
Louis Hurst added “Amelix as an organisation is passionate about the people we serve across the UK through the events we manage and organise, or those hundreds of people who rely on us for their telecom services. The Canterbury event was our way of saying thank you to to the people of Canterbury and also raising money for a fantastic cause, Children In Need. As a business we are committed to helping young people and this is just another way we can help improve lives and raise some money for a great cause!”
