George Joyce’s debut marathon, which raised almost £5,000 for charity has won the second Graham Kirkham Award.
The award recognises individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to The Furniture Makers’ Company and is named after Lord Kirkham, FMC charity president.
Joyce, Wolf Components sales director, was presented with the award at MFC’s annual Royal Charter Dinner and was presented with a crystal trophy and commendation by Kirkham in front of nearly 80 guests.
‘I’m incredibly honoured to have been recognised by The Furniture Makers’ Company. It was a wonderful surprise and a truly surreal moment to receive the award, and it was fantastic to celebrate with my wife and our team. I’m deeply grateful for the generous support from companies and individuals who donated to my London Marathon efforts. I hope this recognition inspires others to take on their own challenges and help raise funds so The Furniture Makers’ Company can continue its amazing charitable work within our industry,’ he says.
