These verifications are in essence a declaration of our ‘carbon footprint’ and will assist specifiers and contractors to meet their client’s sustainability requirements and reduce the environmental impact of the timber specified for both structural and non-structural applications throughout a products lifespan. It will also assist in achieving green building certifications, such as BREEAM and LEED.

Over recent months, Kazys who is our CAE MillHost Technician has performed particularly well in the following areas:

Spent significant amounts of time in the evenings mentoring/training new MillHost operative on night shift,
Has recently been trained on the Lumber Track system and actively driven improvement in this area across both shifts,
Has worked hard on his NEBOSH Health and Safety qualification and has provided useful safety improvement ideas since this training.

Kazys has been with Balcas since 2006 and is notable both for his friendly disposition and being a genuine pleasure to work with. In his own words, he has been totally focused on his progression within Balcas and cementing his place within the wider community through active participation.

Well done Kazys!

While he is being described as still critical, we are comforted by news that he is now in a more stable condition, but will require ongoing care and essential tests while remaining state side. His recovery will be significantly aided by the presence of family who travelled once they received the news. We dearly want to help to reduce the financial worries for his loved ones by organising a fundraiser. In his spare time Pauric plays football for a local team and his Fermanagh community have already been phenomenally generous so we thought we would widen the fundraising net with a raffle.

Balcas/Energy are donating a pack of 40 Sleepers and a Tonne of Pellets (either blown or bagged) as prizes. We hope to raise £5000 by selling tickets at £20 each, 2 winners will have their choice of either prize. We will run the competition to a maximum of 250 entries or until Friday 5th May, whichever is soonest.

If you wish to enter please send a PayPal payment of £20/€22.50 to reception@balcas.com (using FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY option to avoid fees) and we will let you know your entry number by return. Prizes will be delivered anywhere in the UK or Ireland free of charge.

Please join us in sending your very good thoughts to Pauric and his family at this worrying time.

Any queries please to roisin.mcmanus@balcas.com

You can alternatively donate directly if you wish and/or follow updates from Pauric’s sister, Zara here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-with-my-brothers-expenses

*Update – Thursday 4th May

We were delighted to reach our fundraising target and thanks to the generosity of Friends of Balcas, Customer and Suppliers were able to donate £5200 to the above campaign.

Congratulations to our winners Teona and Jo, drawn using an online random number selector. Both of whom have opted for pellets as their top prize!

In addition to our opening and closing donations, the majority of our fundraising efforts throughout the year will be focused on helping to grant wishes to critically ill children in Scotland & Northern Ireland.

Receiving the cheque from Brian Murphy CEO, is our Communications Manager, Roisin who has volunteered with the charity for nearly 25 years; in fact one of her first wish visits was with colleague Cherelle’s (also pictured) husband Ollin.

Ollin thankfully made a full recovery and still has his quad!

Our choice of charity this year is therefore very meaningful to Balcas and to the wider communities in which we’re based.
