[D]avid Allen, the local accountancy and business services firm, are holding a charity Platinum Ball to celebrate twenty years in business while raising funds for the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).
A long time has passed since the days of David working out of his garage, with the business now having four offices and more than 90 staff, and to celebrate the occasion they are holding a ‘Platinum Ball’ at The Garden at Eden on Friday 23 June, with all proceeds from the event going to their Charity of the Year partner the GNAAS.
The team at David Allen hope to raise more than £15,000 this year for the charity, with the Platinum Ball being their finale event. The GNAAS operates three helicopters, 365 days a year, across Cumbria, the North-East and North Yorkshire with the crew responding to around 1,000 call outs each year. On board each aircraft are specialist trauma doctors and paramedics, who bring accident and emergency expertise to the scene.
David Allen, Managing Partner at the firm said: “As a well-known, reputable employer across Cumbria, David Allen recognises the importance of supporting the local community in which we live and work. The GNAAS are saving lives across our County and as such I am proud to be hosting our Platinum Ball where we will hopefully raise lots of money for a fantastic cause, while celebrating 20 years in business. I would like to thank local businesses and professionals for their support so far in organising what is set to be an amazing event.”
The event has been well received with more than 300 local businesses and individuals already attending. The evening has been organised in association with ECi Company, mechanical and electrical engineers who design, manufacture and commission high quality conveying and material handling equipment. Hillcroft Leisure who provide peace and tranquillity to holidaymakers in a stunning location, just a stone’s throw from Lake Ullswater and Bendles Solicitors LLP, respected local solicitors with a history serving more than 150 years.
