LOVE A LITTLE LOCAL
Revamped offices for Hermanus Animal Welfare T
he Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) is delighted with their new-look reception offices, thanks to Easylife Kitchens Hermanus. “When we noticed how the HAWS offices could do with an upgrade, we immediately jumped in to assist them,” says Marlene Raats, Easylife Kitchens Hermanus store manager. “The HAWS staff work tirelessly every day with hurt and neglected animals, and giving their reception area a redesign was something small we could do for them.” HAWS chairperson, Pamela Quinn, says they are truly grateful to Easylife
Kitchens (ELK). “The brand-new office has given our staff a new zest for life. The three work stations are so well planned, with ample cupboard space throughout the office. It makes one want to work there! What a pleasure it is to now be able to welcome visitors and prospective pet owners to a bright and clean office. “As If this was not enough, ELK also kindly revamped the office kitchen and, with clever planning, what used to be a small and cramped area, is now a very functional kitchen,” adds Pam. The materials were donated by ELK
Manufacturing and the talented staff at ELK Hermanus did the designing and installation. “The installation team consisted of Shane Wepener, who has been with Easylife Kitchens for over 15 years, and Akhona Gura who assisted him,” says Marleen. “ELK Hermanus is very proud to have been part of this special project and we wish the wonderful staff of HAWS many happy years in their beautiful new office.” Praising the superior quality of the product and workmanship, Pam thanks Easylife Kitchens Hermanus on behalf of HAWS for their generosity.
