A surprise e-mail received into the Foodbank Manager’s inbox during her annual leave, advising that a generous donation of $2,500 was being made to the Foodbank, just couldn’t wait.
Enable, with offices in both Stratford Upon Avon and San Francisco, have created cloud-based rebate management software that helps suppliers, distributors and wholesalers to drive mutually profitable growth, while improving cash flow and reducing risk. They aim to empower commercial and finance teams within the supply chain, who have been neglected with outdated software products offering limited functionality
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Enable have been working hard to find a way to align their core mission to improve the lives of sales, purchasing and finance teams who create and track rebates and deals, with the coronavirus relief efforts. Since March, the sales team have been carrying out short market research interviews with sales, purchasing and finance professionals, making a donation per call which added up to an amazing $2500 (very approximately £1,900) for the Stratford-upon-Avon foodbank, Enable’s chosen charity of the year.
Andrew Butt, CEO of Enable said: “Giving to charity is an important part of who we are at Enable, we have even set up a charity committee so we can give back to charities close to our hearts, one of them being the Stratford Foodbank. Being passionate about engaging with our local community, we chose them as our charity of the year because they are working tirelessly to help those in Stratford who are unable to buy their own food in this difficult time and we want to help spread the word and give back.”
Stratford Foodbank are extremely grateful and appreciative to Enable and their staff team for not only choosing us as their charity of the year, but for the fantastic amount they have raised so far. It will enable us to continue to support more and more of those who are relying on us during this incredibly hard period of time we are living through.
And it gets even better… once a return to the office is safe, they we will be continuing to hold dress-down days and staff social events to enhance their fundraising for the Foodbank; they have already raised an additional £468 for us, so “Thank you so much” to all the Enable team for helping us to help our local community.
