A&C’s 4th year in business highlights

Last Winter our chosen charity was the Colchester Food Bank, due to the high cost of every day living, being a plumbing & heating company we believe no family should have to choose between eating or heating their home!

Therefore we decided to donate money from a list of our services throughout the Winter months & in turn spend this amount on food and toiletries.

We are very pleased to say we raised a huge £728 to help towards vital food and toiletry items for our local food bank.

We look forward in choosing a local charity to help during this coming Winter so watch this space……

A day spent at The Tendring Show in July

Our Directors spent the day promoting our Air conditioning & plumbing/heating services at The Tendring Show alongside Worcester Bosch demonstrating a variety of air conditioning heat pumps and providing a raffle to raise money towards The Suffolk Punch Trust Charity.

This was a very successful day, not only meeting new customers but to see existing customers coming along to find us and say hi was really lovely.

We held a raffle to win prizes within the services we provide, including vouchers for  money off air conditioning and new boiler installations to a selection of coffee machines and pods!

Our team are delighted that we raised £116 to our chosen charity

“The Suffolk Punch Trust”

A cheque was sent to the charity and we received this lovely Thank you message below..

Tea Break Time!

All our team are enjoying plenty of cake this week on their tea breaks!! A lovely Vanilla tray bake made by our children (with a little help from Laura and Amy) as we celebrate our 4 years in business together!

We are now entering our busiest period for Allen & Clarke

We are almost in October, which mean’s it won’t be long until the nights are drawing in & our boilers/heating is being switched back on! This results in us becoming inundated with breakdown calls and new boiler installations which take place throughout the Autumn & Winter months. We also become very busy with general servicing so please don’t forget to pre book your annual boiler service to help keep your appliance running at it’s best & to keep the manufactures warranty valid.

As always thanking our customers for their continued support & here’s to keeping you all warm over the winter months ahead!
