As a firm we take our corporate social responsibilities very seriously and we were delighted to be able to support IT Schools Africa by providing them with our redundant IT equipment, which would otherwise be scrapped. It is really satisfying to know that we are playing our part in helping to educate children in Africa, providing them with the skills they need for the future,
