 Alliance & Leicester boost ‘green’ project with
new appointment
Alliance & Leicester’s appointment of Wayne Blakemore as Area Business Manager for the South West was a chance for FS to mark the occasion by planting a tree at its Leicester Head Office.
FS Senior Partner ’ Mike Sedgwick picked up the story: “We give every client with which we place a candidate the chance to plant a tree to mark the occasion and so far tens of businesses from across the UK have taken us up on the offer. Some place them outside their offices, but the majority make use of our Sustainable Forest in North Wales.
“Protecting the environment is an important issue for our business and we are delighted that an organisation of Alliance & Leicester’s reputation has agreed to support the initiative, which allows us to remain ‘carbon neutral’.”
Fiona Pizzey, Group Diversity and Corporate Responsibility Manager, commented:
“This initiative fits very well with our desire to benefit the local communities in which we operate and underlines our commitment to protecting the environment.
“We also enjoy working with like-minded clients, who are good corporate citizens and can see that being ‘green’ can have its own business benefits.”
A former Regional Sales Manager at HFC Bank Wayne was headhunted by FS as part of its ongoing relationship with Alliance & Leicester.
He concluded: “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge and the fact my appointment has helped boost an excellent ‘green’ initiative is an added bonus.”
