Barrus’s support of the annual Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal has been recognised by the Bicester and District Branch with the presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation and Honorary Membership of the Branch to Robert Glen, Chairman of E. P. Barrus Ltd.

For five years, Barrus has provided dedicated, secure warehouse storage and sorting facilities for the Poppy Appeal stock, coordinated the distribution to local destinations and handled the return of surplus stock.

“The support offered unconditionally by Barrus considerably eased the logistics and administration of the Poppy Appeal. This allowed the team more time to concentrate on the important collection of funds in support of the appeal,” commented David Crabbe, Branch Secretary and Poppy Appeal Organiser

The presentation held at Barrus’s headquarters in Bicester, was made by Brian Leach, Chairman of The Royal British Legion Bicester and District Branch. Brian commented, “I would like to express our heartfelt thanks from all Members of the Royal British Legion and that of those military veterans, young and old, and their families, who, when in need, benefit from such generosity.”

This year the collection for the Royal British Legion Bicester and District Branch Poppy Appeal achieved a record total of £44,925.67. “This magnificent total would not have been possible without the support of the Chairman and Staff of Barrus,” Brian concluded.

“Barrus is committed to offering our on-going support to the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal. We all owe a great deal to those have served and continue to serve and we are proud that we can honour them in this way,” commented Robert Glen, Chairman, E. P. Barrus Ltd.
