Hide AdAdam, 37, of Tapton, said: My company has now been open 20 months but we opened with the idea of giving back to our community at least two times every year.
“In the short space of time that we have been in business we have now raised over £5,000 and that is rising monthly.
“One of our concepts is that we sell card payment machines amongst many things at very competitive rates. Every machine sold we also donate £25 to Chesterfield Animal Rescue.”
Last year Adam also staged a ball which also raised over £3,000 for charity.

“Because even in these challenging times for pubs, they both donated £50 each to the raffle which is amazing.”
Adam worked in the telecoms industry for 10 years before he was made redundant and decided to go it alone and set up his own business.
