Handy raises over £2,000 for Step 2 It

Handy Limited, a leading component supplier to the furniture and bedding industries, has raised £2,248 for our Step 2 It campaign.

The team at Handy hosted a 24-hour table tennis tournament over the 24 and 25 March 2022. The whole team took part in the tournament covering the various shifts going throughout the day and into the night.

Donations came from business partners, suppliers, manufacturers and supporters.

As a corporate member, the Handy team feet strongly about this and wanted to give back to an industry that they have been a part of for over 30 years.

Nick Harland-Smith, managing director of Handy, said: “We are delighted to have taken part and raised vital funds for the Step 2 It campaign. The charity has been so supportive of companies in the furniture industry, which have faced many challenges over the past two years dealing with the impact of rising costs and disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The table tennis marathon gave us all a renewed sense of community and belonging as a team, as well as raising money to support others in our industry.”

Handy has been a member of the Furniture Makers for over three years now, and by becoming a more active member Handy hope to raise awareness and spread the message of its charitable work and educational opportunities to other companies across the country.
