COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Canterbury is a wonderful city full of energy, that hosts an incredibly diverse and bustling community; one that Paul and his family have had the enjoyment of being a part of for over 70 years.
It is hugely important to us to back local charities and other support networks whose mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of Canterbury’s residents. Healthy people are happy people and happy people enrich Canterbury as a whole.
We have supported our local community throughout our long history because we know that vibrant communities are essential to our success.
We have confidence knowing that we are a brand that employees are proud to work for and that customers can trust.
