Staff at leading timber fire door manufacturer, Ahmarra will be holding an FSC Friday Open Day and Macmillan Coffee Event on Friday 27 September at their factory based in Portsmouth.

The aim of the day is to increase awareness of the FSC by offering tours of the factory. Visitors will learn all about Ahmarra’s commitment to use sustainable materials when manufacturing their bespoke fire doors. Staff will also take part in FSC awareness seminars throughout the day.

As the day coincides with Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, Ahmarra will have coffee and cakes for sale as well as a number of fundraising activities including a sponsored “Wax Off”. Ahmarra promises to donate £10 for every staff member who wears green on the day.

Tim Doran, Managing Director, said 'Our “We Go Green” open day should be a great day for both staff and visitors. As well as promoting the aims of the FSC, we also aim to raise lots of money for a very worthy cause”.
