| JAMES FREW AND SUB-CONTRACTORS WAVE MAGIC WAND TO SAVE PANTO TRIP |
16 December 2009
Building services contractor James Frew and a group of its subcontractors proved to be a real fairy godmother for primary pupils from Stevenston who faced missing out on a festive visit to the pantomime.
Site agent John Paul, who is working for James Frew on an £800,000 refurbishment programme at Hayocks Primary School, heard that some of the pupils were struggling to afford the trip to see Sleeping Beauty in Kilmarnock.
The kind-hearted agent spread the word to other contractors working on the project who chipped in a total of £1000, which James Frew matched with a very generous £1000 donation.
Thanks to the early Christmas present around 240 pupils and helpers enjoyed a fantastic day out at the pantomime.
Hayocks Head Teacher Anne Hunter said: “John Paul heard some of the children saying the £10 cost of the trip was just too expensive for their parents. He went off on his own back and raised a total of £1600 from contractors and James Frew, which meant that we were able to reduce the cost of tickets to just £3.
“John Paul is a really wonderful man and the kids had a terrific time at the pantomime.
“He then came back to say he had managed to raise another £400 from the contractors and James Frew, which we are using for the school parties. Everyone has been absolutely phenomenal and I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of the school.”
John Paul added: “I thought it was a shame that some of the kids were going to miss out on the panto and wanted them all to share in the fun. The company and the sub-contractors were all amazingly generous.”
Subcontractors who donated £100 each were James Brown Builders, Ardayre Interiors Ltd, Millar Electrical Ltd, VM Tracey Ltd, Thompson Alarms & Communications Ltd, Don Robson, painter and decorator, Damada Asbestos Removal Ltd, Taylor Scaffolding, DV McColl Ltd and KVC Ltd.
James Frew is a family owned business, with its headquarters in Stevenston, Ayrshire. The company employs over 200 people and provides an extensive range of plumbing and heating services from domestic to large mechanical installations for both the private and public sectors.
