A local recruitment company has announced that it's throwing its support behind Midlands Air Ambulance. 

Staff from Birmingham based Network Recruitment have marked their support with a £1000 donation to the charity this week.

Managing Director Ken Wood says "I've always recognised the vital work that Midlands Air Ambulance does every day in our region and I am extremely happy to be able to make this donation on behalf of all the staff at Network Recruitment. 

"With so much time spent on the road nowadays you never know when you might be in need of the life-saving service that Midlands Air Ambulance provides."

It costs Midlands Air Ambulance £25 for every minute that the helicopter is airborne. The generous donation from Network Recruitment will keep the air ambulance in the air for 40 minutes.

Stef Langford Brown, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Midlands Air Ambulance says "We are extremely grateful for the support shown towards Midlands Air Ambulance by Network Recruitment and look forward to working with them in the future. 

"The charity receives no government funding so donations from local businesses really do help us to remain operational and continue saving lives across the Midlands."

Ken Wood will also be supporting Midlands Air Ambulance in his role as Conservative Councilor for Longbridge, a position he has held for the past two years.

Since 1984 Network Recruitment has been providing a professional consultancy specialising in engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, food and drink sector recruitment, working with many household national businesses.
