Bristol Airport

At Bristol Airport more than 5,000 people work in a variety of roles. Firefighter Daisy talks through her job and what a typical day involves – and it’s not what you might expect.

A huge warm and heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in our charity golf day yesterday to help raise money for our charity partner of the year Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC). Together with all 20 teams, and support from our incredible business partners, we raised over £21,000. It costs £2200 each time the air ambulance responds to an emergency. This generous donation means that potentially 10 lives will be saved and 10 families will stay together in our local community. GWAAC do incredible work and we are proud to support. Despite it raining cats and dogs and being a day for ducks, all 20 teams braved the weather to play at The Kendleshire in South Gloucestershire. A special thank you to Mike Holt at LANCER SCOTT LIMITED for helping to arrange the day and making a very generous contribution along with J&G Fencing. And a big thank you to Massey Cladding, Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd, FARRANS (CONSTRUCTION) LIMITED, MB Construction, QuantumCLS TPS360, All Power, McCann & Partners, Barnwood, RyeBridge, Another Level, Burroughs, Whiteheads, Amber Consulting, Encon, John Perkins and Currie & Brown teams for taking part and their great donations. Many of whom also sponsored a hole along with CASS UK, Morgan Structural Wales, SFI Limited, M2 Flooring Limited, QDL, Air Systems, Whitehead, Holder Mathias Architects, Dial Marketing Leisure and Xenon Workplace.

Last month our Executive Team spent the morning volunteering at WsM Foodbank lending a hand in support of local families in need. The team were involved in unloading deliveries, sorting donations, and prepping the packages for distribution. It was humbling to see first hand the incredible work being done by the dedicated staff and volunteers at the food bank. The Weston-super-Mare Food bank plays a crucial role in providing essential supplies to families facing challenging times. If you'd like to support their cause, they are currently in need of donations. We are grateful for the opportunity to spend a morning contributing and showing our support.💚
