Community
Both Chris and Margie believe in giving back. Their annual Charity event is not only a huge amount of fun but all money raised after expenses are donated to Charity. Larger events also have a chosen charity who receive a donation as well as Brand awareness. Personally they also support their chosen charities throughout the year. You only have to look in Chris’s garden to see a 2 metre high penguin from an auction for Cholmondeley Children’s Centre!
