Based at Stourbridge Road in Bridgnorth, the aluminium manufacturer employs more than 330 people and operates from a 66-acre site in the town. By signing up to the initiative, run by Shropshire Community Foundation, the company will contribute to projects aimed at supporting vulnerable individuals and strengthening community groups across the county.
Bridgnorth Aluminium, the UK’s only fully integrated producer of flat rolled aluminium coils, said the decision reflects its long-standing ties to the area and its desire to play a broader role beyond manufacturing.
Commercial director Adrian Musgrave said the company’s connection to Shropshire stretches back more than seven decades. He said, “Generations of local people have helped shape our story, and becoming a Shropshire Investor in Community feels like a natural way to give something back.”
He added, “At a time when the charity and voluntary sector is under more pressure than ever, this allows us to continue supporting the projects and organisations that make such a difference to life in Shropshire”.
The Shropshire Investors in Community scheme brings together businesses and organisations of varying sizes, encouraging long-term commitment rather than one-off donations. It aims to build sustainable funding that can respond to local needs as they arise.
