A CREDIT management and debt recovery company has become the latest corporate member of Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. Controlaccount of Hanbury Road, Bromsgrove, has joined as a bronze member of the Trust’s corporate membership scheme.

Graham Ball, founder and chairman of Controlaccount, explained: “We ran a competition for our customers in 2013 to choose the theme of our calendar. Wildlife was picked as the subject and the process made us realise that the great outdoors and wildlife are something our clients are clearly interested in so we were determined to see what we as a company could do to support the passion of our customers. We researched what charities were involved in the environment in the area and got in contact with Worcestershire Wildlife Trust to see how we could support its work."

Delia Shannon, business development officer of the Trust, said: "We’re absolutely delighted to have Controlaccount as our newest corporate members. The staff are already planning fundraising activities to further support our work financially and help to raise our profile with their clients. With staff members who have swum the English Channel, we’re looking forward to seeing what challenges they’ll come up with. By developing closer relations with Worcestershire Wildlife Trust we’re investing in our local countryside and showing just how seriously we take our social and environmental responsibility."

Controlaccount has been in business for more than 30 years and is a business partner for the complete range of credit management and debt recovery services. It has a national portfolio of clients including several high profile blue-chip clients.
