Charity and the Community
Saracen Office Interiors extends its activities to support charities and the local community
Staff, employees and friends of Saracen Office Interiors are committed to taking part in fundraising activities demonstrating their support for charities and the local community.
“For well over twenty years Saracen has actively supported local community projects and charitable organisations.
In times of economic downturn and financial hardship the local community and charities find it far harder to gain the critical support they need. We have decided to make it a priority to step up our support wherever we can and I have been pleased with the positive response from our staff and all associated with Saracen.”
Mike Page, Managing Director, Saracen Office Interiors
