Reisser Limited has become the latest company to sign up to the Rainy Day Trust's Partnership scheme.
The company distributes a wide range of high-performance woodscrews, ancillary products and power tools accessories.

Reisser chairman and founder Charles Ledigo said: "It's great that we can make a difference to ex-industry employees who need help. We had no hesitation in signing up to become Partners and we'll certainly be encouraging other companies to do likewise."

Through annual pensions and one-off grants, the Rainy Day Trust assists people who have spent a significant part of their working lives in the home improvement industry and who now find they need a helping hand.

Since 2003, the Trust has given away more than £1m, nearly all of which has been raised through the generosity of companies like Reisser.

Annual membership of the RDT Partner scheme costs £1,000 and delivers a package of publicity benefits.
