Holmatro and UKRO IDP join forces
At the opening night of the UK Rescue Challenge 2017 in Hull Holmatro announced its support of UKRO IDP with rescue equipment and services worth 100,000 Euro. In a video message Holmatro Rescue Equipment Director Bert Willems praised the organization's work in developing countries. “Saving people’s lives is a goal we have in common.”
Rescue Tool Donation
In a separate meeting a symbolic cheque was handed over to UKRO IDP Director Stephen Nesbit. In the coming years his organization will receive a substantial number of second-hand Holmatro rescue tool sets for their equipment donation and training programs in developing countries. Through these programs UKRO IDP improves the level of local fire & rescue services with the aim to reduce the number of road deaths and injuries.
Tools for Life
This year Holmatro celebrates its 50th anniversary: a moment to be thankful and give something back to society. In the scope of the company’s ‘Tools for Life Development Program’ two organizations were selected to receive long-term support, one of them being UKRO IDP.
