The Standing Tall Foundation is delighted to announce the latest addition to their Foundation Partner stable:

Aesseal are a specialist in the design and manufacture of mechanical seals and support systems. Their Mechanical Seals are used in a wide range of pumps and rotating equipment worldwide to prevent liquids and gases escaping into the environment. They manufacture mechanical seal types to suit all industries and their investment in modular design means that we provide the best on-time delivery performance in the industry.

The STF has been humbled to receive a substantial donation from Aesseal which has been made following the MD Chris Rea, hearing Andy Reid MBE speak at recent awards ceremony in Manchester.

Darren Jones, a former Royal Engineer, and AESSEAL employee commented:

‘As ambassadors of the Armed Forces Covenant, and as part of our enduring support to the veteran community, AESSEAL is absolutely delighted to be able to support the Standing Tall Foundation. As an organisation that actively employs veterans, AESSEAL recognises the value that serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and our community, and we are privileged to support the charitable aims of William Andrew Reid MBE’

Chris Rea Managing Director of AESSEAL said:

“AESSEAL design, produce and install environmental solutions globally. The business pursues excellence and is focused on reliability, which is ultimately the avoidance of waste. Following an informal audit by former RSM Darren Jones, we are delighted to support the Standing Tall Foundation as we believe that the vast majority of our donation will go to those most in need of support.”

Andy Reid MBE Chairman of the Standing Tall Foundation said:

“This is unbelievable support from Aesseal, I cant thank them enough. This money means we can help more people in need. It is also further testament for my Foundation of the impact we are having, when a company the stature of Aesseal are prepared to back us with such a large amount of money.”

John F Tabern CEO of the Standing Tall Foundation commented:

“Donations such as this are a huge lift to organisations such as ours. It enables us to plan how we move forward into the future with the confidence to help more people.”
