Parvalux Electric Motors is gearing up for a festive fundraising bonanaza to raise much-needed money for Lewis-Manning Hospice Care.

Staff at the business, a global manufacturer of geared motor solutions, chose to support the Poole-based charity in a vote.

The business has four sites – two in Bournemouth, one in Poole and one in Birmingham – employing around 200 people.

Nick Parker, Managing Director, said; “Parvalux has been a prominent manufacturing employer in Bournemouth for many years.

“Although this year has been a tough one, our employees have pulled together and worked really hard to make it successful.

“We’re delighted to be in a position to help raise funds to support a great local charity such as Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, which was selected as our charity by a vote across all our staff.

“It’s especially important at this time of year.

“We hope that the new year brings better and happier tidings for everyone in 2021.”

Liam Davis, Finance Controller, added, “Our team is really passionate about fundraising.

“This year we’ve created a whole month of festive fun and games.

“In week 1, staff guessed the number of chocolate brussel sprouts in a jar.

“Week 2 we have a giant teddy bear to guess the name of and win.

“Week 3 will be to guess the weight of the ham and in week 4 we will hold a Christmas raffle.

“Everyone pays a 50p donation to enter, with multiple entries allowed.”

Nicki Cluley, Lewis- Manning Hospice Care’s Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, said: “We are so pleased to have the support of the team at Parvalux.

“We’re really excited about working together in 2021 with lots of different fundraising ideas to pursue.”
