Gestamp plant director Jonathan Phillips
J & C Coaches boss and local councillor Nev Jones with Gestamp plant director Jonathan Phillips , who has backed the Keep Aycliffe Tidy campaign .
said : “ It ’ s a great initiative . It ’ s something worthwhile sponsoring from a Gestamp perspective and cements our role in the community . It ’ s something we ’ re really proud to be part of .
“ It ’ s really important to keep Aycliffe tidy in terms of the health and hygiene of the area , and the town ’ s reputation .
“ Social distancing and Covid hasn ' t helped . When you see face masks around the business park , it doesn ’ t look great to visitors in the area and , of course , our employees . “ So to support an initiative like this is very worthwhile . We do some litter picking ourselves as part of our plant initiatives to keep our areas outside and inside clean and tidy .
“ It should be the same for everyone else on the business park and for everyone to play their part .
“ If everyone does a little bit , then it becomes a lot easier for everyone .”
