Staff and clients at Manchester-based Ethos public relations are set to benefit from a bumper harvest following the company’s sponsorship of a beehive as part of its support for Salford Bee Collective.
Jars of pure, local Salford honey from one of The Salford Bee Collective’s urban beehives will be presented as special gifts in time for Christmas.
Shaun Fisher, Director of Ethos public relations, says: “When we found out about The Salford Bee Collective and their plans for the future, we couldn’t wait to pledge our support.
“We have a real interest in promoting local, sustainable food and are keen that more people understand where their food comes from. Salford’s bees have been working really hard this year and we’re delighted to see such a good crop of local honey.”
Chris Guthrie of Salford Bee Collective says: “We have been looking to get local businesses involved in this initiative and are delighted that Ethos public relations has helped by sponsoring a hive. The money will go towards developing The Salford Bee Collective and helping us develop our plans for the future.
“Bee numbers are declining worldwide and we wanted to do our bit to halt this. We are continually looking for other sponsors, so if any other businesses want jars of honey for their office then please get in touch.”
The Salford Bee Collective is made up of individuals and organisations in Salford and it purchased its first hive in June 2010. It has as one of its partners, Salford City College, whose Woodwork and Joinery Department make the hives for use by community hive recipients.
Shaun Fisher adds: “Our support for The Salford Bee Collective is going way beyond pure sponsorship and we will be helping the Collective realise its business objectives which include ambitious plans for setting up a co-operative to collect, process and market Salford honey.”
