Well-formed donation for Warkworth brigade

Glasshape design manager Andrew Bissett hands the cheque to firefighter Simon Morris on behalf of the Glasshape team.

Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade received a $3000 donation from staff at Glasshape on Woodcocks Road last month.

The money was raised through a raffle held at an employee family event, plus a contribution from Glasshape. The company has been a family-owned business since 1986 and has factories on Woodcocks and Hudson Roads. It uses large electrical furnaces to produce architectural bent glass.

Design manager Andrew Bissett says the firm takes the potential risk of fire seriously.

“If it wasn’t for the volunteer brigade, it would make operating this type of business in Warkworth difficult,” he says.

He says Glasshape is proud to support the brigade and the fantastic job it does in the community.
