An energy firm has raised more than £5,000 for an animal charity.
TechnipFMC, which specialises in increasing efficiency in the energy sector, raised £5,375 for the Scottish SPCA through a series of different events, including foreign coin collections and food collections.
Aberdeen centre manager Graeme Innes said: “This type of fundraising takes a lot of organising and effort and we fully appreciate all the time everyone put in to make their fundraising efforts such a success.
“We don’t receive any government funding which means we rely on the public to be able to continue our work rescuing and rehoming animals in desperate need of our help.
“The money raised by the team helped us microchip 230 animals during 2017 and contributed towards specialist equipment including new vivariums, heat lamps and filters for our terrapin pond. They also helped fund new breast bars for the horse trailer.
“Without these donations we would not be able to continue our vital work rescuing and rehoming abandoned and unwanted animals in Scotland. We are grateful to the team for their efforts.”
TechnipFMC managing director Bill Morrice said: “We are delighted to support the Scottish SPCA animal shelter in Drumoak and it’s great to see our employees’ efforts and donations going to such a worthy cause.”
