"I believe TREE APPEAL is a very exciting initiative because it gives companies the opportunity to make a real difference", said Professor Bellamy, "These broad-leaved trees make a significant long-term contribution to the environment. TREE APPEAL has my best wishes for the future and I look forward to many more TREE APPEAL celebration evenings."

Other organisations receiving their certificates on the evening were, Teesdale Enterprise Agency, Cummins Engines, British Israel World Federation, Descend Mountain Bike Promotions, Comtek System Solutions, Darling & Stephensons, John Snow College, Graphicus and BNI Blackwell Chapter.
