STAFF from a Lichfield business have rolled up their sleeves to help maintain a local canal.

The team from Wrekin Products joined the Canal and River Trust for the event at Fradley Junction.

They helped to fill and load dozens of sandbags onto a workboat before heading out to help repair eroded sections of the canal bank.

The volunteers also got stuck into litter picking, painting and even tried their hand at supervised lock-keeping. 

Simon Turner, managing director at Wrekin Products, said:

> “It was fantastic to see our team get involved in such a meaningful way. These canals are an important part of the region’s heritage and biodiversity and days like this are a great reminder of the practical action needed to protect them.  
>  
> “Our environmental campaign, The Sea Starts Here, is all about raising awareness, but it’s just as important that we lead by example and take action ourselves.”

Terry Hodgetts, business and corporate engagement partner at the Canal and River Trust, added:

> “We’re incredibly grateful to Wrekin for its ongoing support. The team brought real energy and commitment to the day, and the work they’ve helped deliver will have a lasting impact.  
>  
> “Volunteer action like this plays a vital role in keeping our canals thriving – and it’s brilliant to see a company so invested in protecting its local environment.”
