Aaron Fairman

New Line Learning Academy student joins Quills Group for work experience

in ,

Aaron has joined the Quills Group team this week to undertake a weeks’ work experience.

Before arriving at Quills Aaron’s objective for his placement was to understand how a business operates and in particular the financial side of the company, including the systems used on a day to day basis.

So far Aaron has had a full rundown on the company from Andy Efstathiou, Managing Director, managed product updates, edited web copy, published a web article, delivered and built some chairs and spent the day with one of the Quills drivers George.

Aaron said, “I have found this experience very enjoyable and I love how friendly and understanding all of the staff have been since I arrived on Monday.  I’ve enjoyed understanding the full process of an order being received right through to the point of delivery. I was really keen to see how all of the financial data was logged onto the Quills back-office system and I feel I have a good understanding of this now. The not so good part for me was being out on the road assisting with deliveries when it was unusually hot for the UK and reached over 30 degrees!

Quills toner recycling raises £2,000 for BIRT

in ,

Whether at home or in the work place as part of a sustainability program, recycling is key for our next generation.

Last summer Quills Group were delighted to have donated £1,000 to charity partner BIRT (Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust) which is part of The Disabilities Trust national charity.  A year on we are thrilled to advise that a further £1,000 has been raised since last Summer which takes the total toner recycling donations to nearly £2,000 since April 2013.

BIRT confirmed that previous donations were used to improve the ‘gardening club’ facilities and a number of raised beds were installed last year.  Facility users have enjoyed many hours plating seeds to grow fruit and vegetables and the below images show the results of their hard work.

Thank you to all of our customers who currently use our toner recycling service (copier, franking or fax toner cartridges) and please do keep up the good work!

Quills Group Donates Over £1,000 to BIRT

in ,

DT_best_1

From April 2013 Quills have donated 100% of the funds raised from its toner recycling program to charity partner BIRT (Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust), which is part of a national charity, The Disabilities Trust, www.thedtgroup.org. BIRT has been providing excellence in brain injury rehabilitation for 25 years.

The amount received for a toner cartridge can vary from as little as 5p to as much as £5.00, but every penny really does count. Funds raised to date have gone towards raised flower beds for the gardening club members at the Kerwin Court BIRT Center in Horsham.

We are delighted to confirm that the total funds donated have now reached over £1,000 as of 1st July 2015 and we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our customers who have been taking the time to recycle their used toner cartridges.

Ann Buckler, Director of BIRT, expressed her gratitude: “ I would like to thank the team at Quills Group for making BIRT their charity partner and for their efforts which have raised over £1,000 for Kerwin Court. The donation has enabled the centre to buy raised flower beds for our gardening club. These have been invaluable in encouraging this enthusiastic group and have enhanced the lives of those we support.”

Quills choose renewable energy from OVO

in

Quills are pleased to confirm that we are now purchasing 100% renewable energy from OVO Energy as part of our ‘environmental journey’.

For every unit of renewable electricity that we buy, OVO Energy purchases one back that’s 100% renewable and comes with Ofgem’s Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificate.

Nowadays we’re all using 20% more energy than we were 40 years ago which is a concern. We’ve put together a ‘Top Tips To A Greener Business’ document which we hope you will find useful. It’s full of hints and tips to becoming a greener and more energy efficient business.
