Sterling Locks diverted its Christmas card energies this year to charity, sending instead a donation to the Rainy Day Trust.
"There's a great connection between retailers, manufacturers and suppliers who specialise in this sector," said Sterling Locks' Rex Atkins, "and this is epitomised by the fact it has its own charity looking after people from the industry, if they need support.

"Our sector is lucky to have this great camaraderie, and we know all our stockists and suppliers will join us in wishing a Happy New Year to all those supported by The Rainy Day Trust."
