Dave Brewster, managing director of Auger, said: “We have always shared
our profits with the staff and this year I am delighted to be able to share
our record performance with this exceptional team. We always go the extra
mile for our customers I’d really like to thank all of the staff for their efforts,
and one way of making sure their work doesn’t go unnoticed is to reward
them financially.”
As well as attractive salary packages and a profit share bonus, the benefits of
working for the fastest growing drainage company in the UK also include a

Services and B&M Secure Shredding have had a longstanding
relationship with Claire House and we hugely support the incredible
work that they do. Our Home Shredding service supports the local
community so it made sense to further that community support by
donating to the wonderful Claire House.”
Claire House Corporate Fundraiser, Jess Campbell, commented:
