Last Updated: 5th Feb 2024
Supporting Hospitality Action
Mental health in the hospitality industry is a very real thing and is a core concern for a large majority of the UK, after all, 1 in 10 of the working population is employed in this sector. As a leading supplier of commercial refrigeration, catering equipment and grease management solutions to thousands of foodservice and hospitality businesses around the country, this topic resonates deeply with us and also with the majority of our customers who have either experienced or know someone that has experienced, times of hardship, both physical and/or mental.
Thankfully, there is now more help available than ever for those who are struggling with mental health.
To show our support on this important issue the FFD Group is pledging our backing to Hospitality Action.
What we are doing…
“It’s quite simple, for every review we receive – whether good, bad or indifferent - we will donate £1 to Hospitality Action.” – Cory Greenhough MD at FFD Group
For every order placed and where a review is left on independent, impartial platforms such as Reviews.co.uk, Trustpilot or Google, we will be donating £1. All you need to do is tell us what we are doing right or wrong!
Through the support of our customers, we can all contribute to the support of the hospitality industry.
