Kevin Graham, managing director of Milking Solutions has also been selling Christmas trees for the fund raising campaign and said the interest, generosity and positive feedback received so far from the people of Monmouth has been amazing.
He said: ‘‘Many people have purchased trees and others just wanted to help Ukraine by donated money.
‘‘One senior citizen stopped me in the street outside the company and gave me £2 saying she wanted to do her bit.
‘‘There has also been a real willingness from many of our staff too with some donating and helping manage the sale and delivery of the trees.
‘‘We have also received interest from local companies who have donated or pledged money including Caer Llan Wedding Centre, Rockfield Property Services, Monmouth MOT Centre, Paul Jarrold tyres, Monnow mowers and many more.
‘‘For many local businesses including ourselves, it has been a challenging time over the last couple of years.
‘‘With this said, it has been refreshing for us to do something “out of the box” and positive for such a worthy cause.’’
