Playing cat and mouse to support community project!

Mitie Mouse teams up with Polcat to help out The Ripple Project

 

Volunteers from PoLCAT and Mitie Painting, the UK’s largest painting contractor, pitched in to help repaint the hall. They included Mitie’s famous mascot Mitie Mouse, office staff, foreman painter and a new apprentice who had successfully completed Port of Leith’s TOiL trainee programme.

Dawn Baxter, Admin Manager at The Ripple Project, said: “Many thanks to all of the PoLCAT and Mitie teams for their time and effort given to the Ripple Project.  You have brightened our day – walls, skirting, doors.  Especially the doors!”

Jamie Connolly, Mitie Edinburgh Painting Branch Manager, commented: “Mitie is delighted to be able to help make a difference. It was great for us to spend time with some of the PoLCAT team and it was fantastic for one of our apprentices to start his first day at a PoLHA event after joining us from the TOiL programme.”

Claire Ironside, Customer Services Director at PoLHA, added:

“We enjoyed helping out this local community project with Mitie’s expert guidance.”

Thanks to Mitie for their help, providing expert guidance, paints, equipment and some very fetching dungarees.
