FIRMS DONATE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
TO HURRICANE TORN BARBUDA
» » IRONMONGERYDIRECT,
the UK’s largest supplier of
ironmongery to the trade,
has partnered with supplier
TIMco to donate a pallet full of
fastenings and fixings which
is being sent to hurricane torn
Barbuda in the Caribbean.
The pallet, which contains
approximately 500,000
woodscrews, roofing screws,
concrete screws, nails and
masonry fixings, will help the
residents of Barbuda rebuild
their homes and communities
following the devastation
brought about by Hurricane
Irma and more recently
Hurricane Maria.
When Irma struck, it literally
flattened virtually every
building on the small British
Commonwealth island which
has a population of 1,600.
Hurricane Maria has brought
about further devastation so
the islanders are completely
reliant on outside help to
re-construct their homes,
businesses, and other
infrastructure.
Managing Director of
IronmongeryDirect, Wayne
Lysaght-Mason, commented:
“Along with our partner,
TIMco, we’re delighted to
do what we can to help the
residents of Barbuda to
recover. We can only imagine
what it must be like to have to
contend with the aftermath
of these hurricanes and we
hope that our contribution will
help.”
