The business, which makes bespoke presentation boxes at its premises on Kirkton Industrial Estate, organised the event walk to promote awareness of diversity, exclusion and LGBTQ+ rights.

The 11-mile walk to the village and back raised the fantastic sum of £2160.

The sum was handed over recently to the local mental health charity Reach Across, which is based at Guthrie Port in Arbroath.
