Further Award success for Astr...
Following a string of recent award successes, Astro Technology Group is delighted to announce that they are finalists in the Comms National Awards, Positive Impact Category for CSR.
Astro is in the running against Cirrus, Network Telecom and TalkTalk for this strongly contested category which saw Astro's entry focus on CSR initiatives such as Camp Cando, Positive Transformation Initiative, London Village Network and a 20-year relationship with The Bud Flanagan Leukaemia Fund.
Steve Smith, Co-Founder and CTO of Astro summarised the entry, 'CSR initiatives are ingrained in Astro Technology Group's history dating back to our first charity engagements. We invest heavily in our CSR activities to provide consistent, high impact support to the charities we engage with using our time, expertise and our connections. We live and breathe CSR and want to highlight the benefits of getting involved to encourage more organisations and individuals to do likewise and give back.'
The entry was supported by references from the charities Astro is involved with, as well as from the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists of which Steve is an active member. The Chair of the organisations Charitable Trust said, 'Although we are fortunate to have a number of committed volunteers, Steve is universally acknowledged as our most committed and most active. He will consistently put himself out for the good of the organisations we support and works tirelessly and creatively to find solutions. This can be a thankless task at times, but Steve maintains and exudes positivity and good humour even in the most challenging of volunteer assignments. It is impossible to begin to quantify the impact that Steve's volunteering has had on our beneficiaries, but he has worked with dozens of charities and, through his work, has transformed the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of those in need.'
The winners will be announced on 22nd October.
