British Gypsum say 'Think sound - think blue'
Think sound-think blue', is the latest message from British Gypsum following a move to standardise the face colour of all products in the company's Gyproc SoundBloc acoustic board range.
British Gypsum's Kirkby Thore works, which has had a close relationship with the Rescue organisation for many years, was quick to respond to an appeal for help, donating the 90m2 or so of high performance thermal lining board needed to completely line the new area.
The Gyproc ThermaLine boards, which comprise Gyproc plasterboard laminated to high performance insulating foam, will significantly cut down heat loss through the building walls, and help to maintain a steady, comfortable temperature for the animals.
Elaine Brown, a Customer Service Advisor at Kirkby Thore, who works as a volunteer for the animal centre in her spare time, was delighted with the company's response.
"Eden Animal Rescue has helped us out in the past by taking and caring for feral cats that used to live in and around the works".
"It's great that we have been able to repay their help in this way".
"Everyone has been very supportive, even down to our haulage contractor, W H Malcolm, who has agreed to deliver the boards free of charge".
Douglas Kinnear, Operations Manager at the Kirby Thore works added," British Gypsum is a very long established company in this area and has built up close relationships with the local community".
"We are always keen to give this kind of support if we can.".
