Covers hits the right note

Covers Timber & Builders Merchants once again pulled in the crowds for its annual charity Christmas carol concert at its Chichester head office.

This year’s concert, the company’s sixth, raised £2,750 for the Sussex Community Foundation which supports local communities. Generous donations came from Covers’ suppliers, customers and staff.

The cheque was presented to Father Christmas by Covers chairman Patrick Green, along with Santa’s helpers.

The event attracted more than 1,000 people, who sang carols backed by the Chichester Amateur Operatic Society.
