Hastings-based Marshall-Tufflex, which manufactures and supplies cable and energy management products, has donated almost half a million pounds to charity over the last five years.<\/p>\n

This philanthropic spirit was established and nurtured by company founder Harold Cirket and his wife Charlotte (nee Marshall), with the Charlotte Marshall Charitable Trust formed in 1962. National, regional and local health, educational and children\u2019s charities are the main recipients of financial support.<\/p>\n

Marshall-Tufflex Chief Executive Officer Paul Hetherington described the \u2018sheer generosity of spirit\u2019 of the company founders as \u2018spectacular\u2019. \u201cA sizeable percentage of company dividends go to the Charitable Trust, allowing it to support a wide range of organisations,\u201d he said. \u201cNationally we have recently assisted the Children with Cancer UK charity, the Ben McNicol Trust and Hounds for Heroes. Overseas donations have boosted Rotary\u2019s \u2018Wheelchair Foundation\u2019 fundraising. And closer to home we continue to support the Conquest Hospital in Hastings, including a recent pledge of \u00a310,000 for new equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trade internationally but are not a global business; every time a Marshall-Tufflex product is sold it supports our workforce and a charity benefits. We therefore have to thank our customers throughout the supply chain for their continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Staff at Marshall-Tufflex are also great charity supporters, with a number of fundraising events run through the year to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation, Age UK, Comic Relief and hospices.<\/p>\n

Indeed, receptionist Teresa Plass, who set up the company\u2019s \u2018Santa Sacks\u2019 appeal to provide gifts for children in Hasting\u2019s Conquest Hospital over Christmas, appeared on national television thanks to her charity efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur employees at Marshall-Tufflex really embody the spirit of giving and it has become ingrained within our organisation,\u201d said Mr Hetherington.<\/p>\n
