Social Firms UK

 Staff and customers of emerging Social Firm, Benchmark Furniture Design & Build, have been speaking about their experiences in new audio interviews.  Benchmark is based in South Manchester and manufactures bespoke furniture (www.benchmarkfdab.co.uk ).  The first interview lasts eight minutes and includes the views of manager, Ian Stewart, and other staff and customers of their experiences with Benchmark.  It can be found on our Case Studies pages.

Says CEO of Social Firms UK, Sally Reynolds, “These interviews communicate in an engaging format, the personal side of the value of providing employment in a Social Firm as well as the strong business case for purchasing from Social Firms.”

The second interview is with Ian Stewart about his forthcoming London Marathon run (Sunday 26 April).  It lasts three minutes, and can be heard at:  http://www.socialfirms.co.uk/index.php/Section172.html  He is running on behalf of Social Firms UK to raise money for them to continue to grow and support the Social Firm sector.  Ian has his own online fundraising page at http://www.justgiving.com/ianstewart so well wishers can donate, track his fundraising progress and give comments of support.  All support is much appreciated, thank you!
