Our Charities
Giving Back to the Communities That Support Us
At BTE Plant Sales, we believe our success should create value beyond the construction industry. Since our founding in 1990, we’ve supported charities and community groups across the UK, helping local causes that make a real difference to people’s lives.
Our team regularly takes part in charity events, fundraising activities, and awareness campaigns, bringing together staff, suppliers, and customers for a shared purpose and we are proud to do our bit.
Why We Support Charities
Giving back is part of who we are. As a family-run business, we’ve always valued relationships and community trust. Supporting charities allows us to:
-
Help local people and families through practical fundraising.
-
Raise awareness for causes that matter to our team and customers.
-
Build community spirit across our depots in Leicester, Leeds, and Leyland.
-
Encourage teamwork through events that bring our colleagues together.
Every pound raised and every hour volunteered goes directly toward charities that make a difference both locally and nationally.
