Site leaders Denis Doyle and Leo McHugh presented cheques to all recipients at a special award ceremony in Analog Devices, Limerick recently where the respective awardees were hosted by their nominating employee(s).
Denis Doyle, VP & GM – Manufacturing, ADI, said, “It’s important that employees have their say on how we distribute our charitable donations. For most of the charity and community organisations chosen, our employees and their families either rely on them or support them through volunteering and fundraising. The gratifying letters we receive and the feedback from our employees is heartening as we know that the donations can be life changing for many people.”
