SMI website delivers mouthwatering boost to local charity

The new Seymour Manufacturing International site showcases the award-winning range of temperature control products produced at its UK manufacturing base, on the Stafford Park industrial estate.

As part of the launch, the company ran a competition where the first batch of visitors could win chocolate treats, plus a bespoke carry bag using SMI’s celebrated Tempro thermal insulation.

And one of the winners asked the SMI team to donate the prize instead to a local charity of their choice.

So that meant a tasty surprise for Hope House, which runs hospices in Shropshire and Mid Wales for seriously ill children.

Louise Bowen, fundraising administrator at Hope House Children's Hospice, said: "We are grateful to SMI for their donation of chocolate to us.

“Some of the children staying with us had a great time melting the chocolate down and cooking with it, creating a fun activity and lots of fun.

"They also donated a brilliant cool bag which will help us when we are able to take the children out for picnics again."
