We’re extremely thankful for the continuing support we receive from our Corporate Partner GMI Construction Group PLC who kindly installed a new fire door in our hangar, saving us thousands of pounds.
Located at our headquarters at Eaglescliffe, near Yarm, the newly installed door has significantly improved the functionality of our operational base.
This enhanced access strengthens the charity’s ability to keep its critical care teams in a state of readiness, allowing them to respond swiftly to more than 43 emergencies each week across the North East and Cumbria.
GMI, whose North East division is based in Stockton-on-Tees, delivered the project in collaboration with trusted local supply chain partners PJS Brickwork and V&E Joinery. The works were co-ordinated by Brendan Tannam, a key Responsible Business partner at GMI, who worked closely with the GNAAS team to ensure smooth delivery.
“This was a relatively small intervention with a big impact,” said Darryl Brown, GMI’s Regional Commercial Director, North East. “We’re proud to support GNAAS not only through fundraising but also by delivering meaningful improvements to their facilities.
“By working with local suppliers, we’re staying true to our Responsible Business strategy, supporting community-based partnerships, promoting sustainability, and adding lasting social value.”
Joe Garcia, Interim Chief Executive at GNAAS, said: “Without the backing of businesses like GMI Construction, sustaining our vital services would be a real challenge. Support like this doesn’t just help raise funds – it also reduces our overheads, meaning more of our resources can go directly towards our core mission: saving lives.”
As a proud Corporate Partner, GMI has previously supported GNAAS by delivering a 400-square-metre access road to improve operations at our on-site recycling warehouse.
They have also sponsored our charity ball in the North East, attended our golf days, taken part in the Middlesbrough 10k and done fundraising activities within their workplace.
