Elektec, based in Darwen, were crowned the 2022 winners of the Best Grassroots Social Impact North West Family Business Award.
The North West Family Business Awards champion family businesses across the North West, recognising their achievements and celebrating their successes. The 2022 Award ceremony was held on Friday 13th May at the Rum Warehouse, Titanic Hotel, Liverpool.
It was actually East Lancashire Hospice who nominated Elektec
for the award. Leanne Green, Fundraising and Lottery Team Leader, stated “Carl & Charlotte
Knowles are amazing people inside and out. Their commitment to supporting their
community it incredible, with nothing ever being to much to support.They have both supported East Lancashire
Hospice for many years through offering FREE pat testing in all of our retail
shops and the main hospice, this itself saves the hospice thousands of pounds
each year.
They have both been heavily involved with supporting any fundraising campaigns
and most recently sponsored the hospice's Sunflower Memory Garden. By
sponsoring this campaign, it enabled the hospice to raise the maximum funds
needed to care for patients in our community.Most recently, Charlotte supported our Darwen charity shop by creating a
more friendly 'kids corner' - this makes our shop look more colourful and
appealing to people walking past and encourages footfall in the shop.
Carl & Charlotte own Elektec and we are extremely proud to have them as
supporters of East Lancashire Hospice.”
Category judge, Martin Rankin, Commercial Business Development Manager at Cumberland Building Society, said “This is a hugely impressive family business with a fantastic story, and one where all the team show a clear desire to support their local community across a wide range of initiatives.
