Over £6,000 worth of donations from the 2 Sisters Food Group’s factory on the Foxhills Industrial Estate is being driven to Poland by four of their extraordinary colleagues Wojciech Osekowski, Grzegorz Ziemianski, Marcin Petryszak and Shawkat Ali.

Over the past few weeks, the site have been collecting donations from all colleagues, including toys, clothes and Easter Eggs plus monetary donations.

 

2 Sisters has matched the monetary donations of over £3,000 and provided the team with transport and a uniform.
