James visited Blackheath Products today to speak with staff about how the business has bounced back from the pandemic, as well as taking the time to support their Macmillan Coffee Morning.
Located off Fairfield Road in Hurst Green, Blackheath Products have been supplying materials for the construction and furniture sectors for over 60 years and occupies 100,000 square feet of warehouse and office space on their premises.
It was the second opportunity James has had to show his appreciation for the work of Macmillan Cancer Support this year, having also attended a similar Coffee Morning at Halesowen Dental last month. James joined staff members as well as Halesowen North Councillor Stuart Henley and members of the public for coffee and cake.
“Many of our local businesses went through a tough time during the pandemic when they weren’t always able to trade or operate as usual", said James. "It was great to visit to Blackheath Products to meet the team and hear about how their successes.
“I also enjoyed having the opportunity to be part of fundraising efforts again for Macmillan Cancer Support. Many of us are affected at some point in our lives by a loved one suffering from cancer, and the work that charities like Macmillan do to support patients and their families can often be a lifeline.”
Richard Jones, Systems & Administration Director at Blackheath Products, added “It was great to welcome James Morris our local MP to our Macmillan Coffee Morning fund raiser, and we appreciate him taking the time to support us. We all enjoyed the occasion and it gave us the opportunity to meet local residents and businesses, whilst raising money for a fantastic cause.
“We raised a total of £1212.36 which we hope helps support the continued vital work carried out by Macmillan Cancer support.”
