Local business owner, Tony Brown from MSP, Alnwick, is delighted to support local women’s organisation Women’s Workshop in their latest project
MSP who own the office premises in Unit 6, Greensfield Court and also recently purchased Unit 1 (formerly Alistair Turner Funeral Directors building); have recently let Unit 1, to the Women’s Workshop on a short term basis to support them through their latest exciting project.
Women’s Workshop is a non-profit organisation that offers various projects and support to women in Alnwick, Blyth, Amble and surrounding areas, encouraging women to take part in creating something as part of a team, to try out new ideas, new skills and offer support to each other.
The latest project undertaken by the team, which is currently under construction at Unit 1, Greensfield Court, is to build a small eco-hub out of strawbales, clay and lime.
Angela Davis, Development Manager for the Women’s Workshop explains, “The hub is built by women, developing their eco-construction skills and will build confidence in using manual trades and tools, as well as nurturing their teamwork skills. We hope to have the hub finished by the end of July and on completion it will be placed in the outdoor kitchen garden of the Women’s Workshop at our community premises on Coquet Enterprise Park, Amble. The hub will showcase heritage arts and crafts and be used as a small meeting space for mentoring.”
Tony Brown, Commercial Director at MSP, who’s team of engineers and software developers supply automation solutions to the manufacturing industry and have been based at Greensfield Court, Alnwick for 21 years, said: “It was great to meet with the Women’s Workshop and see how they are progressing with their construction. Supporting other local organisations and businesses is very important to MSP and we are delighted to be able to provide a space and conditions for the group to work in effectively on this project. I look forward to seeing the completed hub and wish the team success in providing a safe and inclusive environment for local women.”
