The Brandt team visited the Hawke's Bay Hospital children's ward and donated $5,000 as part of it's 'Thanks A Billion' program.
The Brandt Hastings team, joined by Rudolph the Red-Nose Rein ‘Deere’, spread holiday cheer this week at the Hawke’s Bay Hospital children’s ward.
Stu Drew, vice president of operations, Pat Rumble, branch manager of Hastings, and Isaiah Renata, sales manager of Hastings, visited the ward to deliver gifts and bring joy to the young patients.
As part of the Brandt ‘Thanks A Billion’ program, Brandt also made a $5,000 donation to the children’s ward.
Drew says the ‘Thanks A Billion’ program is Brandt’s way of expressing gratitude to the people who have contributed to the success of the business: customers, employees, and the communities where they operate.
“These initiatives make a meaningful difference in the health and wellbeing of local communities, and Brandt is proud to give back in such a positive way,” Drew says.
