Generous Local Help

FST would like to thank Sapphire Energy Recovery Limited for their very generous offer to process up to 100 tonnes of tyres a year at their Manchester Plant.  General Manger Tim Stott commented
" This is a genuine opportunity for the business community to directly support disadvantaged individuals and I am delighted to be able to offer Sapphires services to support to such a valuable charity."
The first batch of tyres was delivered in early September 2006.
Sapphire Energy Recovery is a Lafarge Cement and Michelin Tyre Joint Venture and their main office is at Waterhouses, Staffordshire Moorlands, ST10 3AZ. Website
