WPC Group was invited by host employer Nelson Wine Company to attend the recent Polo event at Portsea on Saturday the 9^th of January in order to raise funds for charity.

Through the support of all in attendance, and other supporting organisations an amount of $18,000 was raised and presented to the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.

Everybody who was present at the event enjoyed a good day.

WPC Group looks forwards to work with all host employers, trainees and apprentices to make 2010 a great year.

Hoping everyone enjoyed a lovely Christmas and welcomed a Happy New Year.
