Colne Tyre Centre is continuing to support its local community with the donation of tables and chairs made from recycled tyres to local schools.
The car, van and fleet tyre specialist has created 15 tables and five chairs out of surplus tyres destined for landfill. After cleaning and prepping the tyres, staff at the East Lancashire firm painstakingly constructed the furniture which they hope will be snapped up by local schools.
The team at Colne Tyre Centre was aided by Phil Heyworh, Managing Director at JD Engineering, who helped assemble the furniture.
Azhar Iqbal, CEO and Founder of Colne Tyre Centre, said: “We hope children in the local community can benefit from these unique tables and chairs. The waterproof and durable material means they are ideal for the outdoors and can be enjoyed for years to come.
“We’re proud of the work we do with a range of good causes and will continue to do all we can for the local community in 2018.”
Last year, Colne Tyre Centre raised £18,000 for local causes including Pendleside Hospice, East Lancashire Hospice, Colne in Bloom, Homeless in Colne, Pendle Dogs in Need, Alzheimer’s Society, Care after Combat, Cash4Kids and Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
