from various parties. Donations achieved at November-end stood at a very respectable £493, and with
this was matched by Fabricast so the total reached a "fan-tash-tic" £986!
All monies go directly to the men's health partners of Movember - Prostate Cancer UK and the Institute of Cancer Research.
The whole of the Fabri-tash team and Fabricast Group Ltd would like to thank everyone for their generous donations.
Without your support November would have been chillier and somewhat less fun - thank you from all of us.

Dominic graduated from the University of Lincoln with a Degree in History before moving onto a
Graduate training position with an international metal services business in Kidderminster.
During his time at Kidderminster Dominic primarily worked in sales, specialising in all types

Fabricast was so appealing. Hopefully I can bring my enthusiasm and specialist sector knowledge to
benefit Fabricast and expand our customer base," said Dominic.
