We’re pleased to announce that Our Director, Debbie Farr, has recently taken on the role of Business Ambassador with Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC), a charity close to the heart of ISO Quality Services.
MAAC operates and funds three air ambulances that cover six Midlands counties including Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and West Midlands. It costs the Charity up to £14 million a year to maintain its three aircraft, critical care cars and the provision of a life-saving service, despite receiving no funding from the Government for its daily missions. They rely entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses like us.
As a business, we’ve supported MAAC for over 20 years and are passionate about their services. Our directors have a personal connection to the Charity after they assisted the Appleton family in a moment of need. It only seemed right that they would become our Charity of choice when we were founded in 2020. Since then, we have raised £10,000’s for the Charity through various initiatives such as our annual golf day and referral schemes.
As a Business Ambassador, Debbie will work with the Charity to raise awareness and support by using her personal and business network to advocate for their services and participate in fundraising efforts. Debbie comments: “The Charity is an integral part of ISO QSL, having been partners for over 20 years – so it only seems fitting that I now join the Business Ambassadors and really look to assist in any way that I can with their vision and encourage further collaborations, raising their profile amongst the business community! The work the charity does is of utmost importance and quite literally ‘life-saving’”.
Pam Hodgetts from MAAC adds: “Our business ambassadors act as advocates for the charity so it’s important they are passionate about the work we do. As a long-term supporter of the charity, it made perfect to sense to invite Debbie to join the team. We are thrilled to have her on board, we know she will be a pro-active and valued member”.
