Boxes of gifts collected at the centre will be distributed over the festive period to people in the Blaenau Gwent area.

EVIC is owned and run by Tata Steel subsidiary UK Steel Enterprise, and the centre’s staff are delighted with the results. Among those tenants who contributed are The Pepperall Trading Co, V3Apparel, Sogefi Filtration, Central FM Group and HSG FM Ltd.

EVIC provides high quality business office and workshop space to companies in a professional and modern environment.

Centre Administrator Gail Hannam said: “We are very pleased to be offering this support at this time of year from the strong business community we have here at EVIC.”
