We are delighted to announce Dortech Architectural Systems as our Company of the Month for April!

The team at Dortech have bowled us over with their enthusiasm and creativity to come up with various ways of supporting Candlelighters. Through the Dortech Doors arm of the business, they are donating £100 for each door sold in the Warrington range, co-created and designed with the Leeds Warrior and Candlelighters champion, Josh Warrington.

Our Fundraising Executive, Chris, took a visit to the Dortech factory, alongside Josh and Dortech MD, James!

Not only this, the Dortech Maintenance team were keen to be involved in supporting Candlelighters, deciding to donate £10 for every maintenance job over £100 that they complete, and with around 1000 jobs completed per year, this could mean a significant donation.

The eager team at Dortech are also arranging their own Yorkshire 3 Peaks walk, as well as entering a team in Total Warrior and Managing Director James Sutherland, is taking on many running challenges across the summer for Candlelighters including the Yorkshire Marathon.

James said, ‘We are delighted that Josh Warrington effected the introduction to Candlelighters and assisted Dortech in setting up this great fundraising initiative. Candlelighters provide such a fantastic service to children and families that need their support. I look forward to seeing how this develops and am confident these initiatives will raise some much-needed funds for this fantastic cause.’

Thank you, Dortech!
