A Harrogate manufacturing firm has promoted a long-term employee to its board of directors.
Belzona Polymerics Ltd, which is based on Claro Road, has appointed Charli Walton to the board after 12 years of service.
Ms Walton joined the company, which is a global designer and manufacturer of industrial repair and protection materials, in its marketing team back in 2011.
Now, she becomes the first female member of the Belzona board.
Mrs Walton said:
“It is a great honour to be appointed to the board of directors. I would like to thank Belzona for giving me this incredible opportunity, as well as for the extensive investment made into my training and development in preparation for my new role."
Barry Nisill, chief executive of Belzona, added:
“During Charli’s career with Belzona, she has developed an extensive knowledge which, teamed with her boundless enthusiasm, has seen her become an important member of the Belzona leadership team.
“On behalf of everyone at Belzona, I would like to congratulate Charli and wish her every success for the future.”
Knaresborough building society celebrates first anniversary with grant award
A building society in Knaresborough has celebrated its first birthday by offering a £3,000 grant to Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre.
Newcastle Building Society opened its doors in the town’s library last summer.
As part of its anniversary, it has offered a grant to Henshaws from the Newcastle Building Society Community Fund.
The funding will help to purchase iPads and art makers, which will be used to support people living with disabilities and visual impairments.
Heather Pearman, manager of Newcastle Building Society’s Knaresborough branch, said:
“Since opening our Knaresborough branch we’ve developed a strong relationship with Henshaws.
“Colleagues have lent their time to volunteer with the charity at some of its largest annual fundraising events, including Henshaws Bed Fest, with further plans to support the charity later into the year.”
