Radius Aerospace

We would like to give another gigantic thank you to all the employees at Radius Aerospace Bramah in Sheffield for their ongoing support! They have supported us for many years now in various ways! One way they do this is by an employee contribution scheme. This means that a percentage (or fixed amount) gets deducted from their wages each month and donated to us! The staff simply opt in or out of the scheme with their accounts department. So from the bottom of our hearts can we say thank you to all you lovely people who have helped and continue to help us so much.
