Earlier this year, the team at RSPCA Essex Mid & North had the pleasure of meeting Natalie Kingsford, the European Marketing Project Manager at Master Fluid Solutions™. During her visit to the Colchester Veterinary Clinic, Natalie gained a first-hand look at the incredible work our teams do to care for animals in need. As an employee at Master Fluid Solutions™, a global company that manufactures metalworking fluids, Natalie is part of a special program that allows employees to contribute to causes they care about. For Natalie, animals are at the very top of that list.
“Animals are very special to me as they are such unconditionally loving creatures that can bring such joy,” Natalie explained. After seeing the clinic’s needs up close, she decided to take action.
Identifying a Need
During her visit, Natalie and the team discussed the pressing need for new suctions pumps at both the Colchester and Chelmsford clinics. These pumps are essential during surgeries, helping to remove excess fluid and maintain a clean, sterile environment for the animals undergoing procedures. Seeing an opportunity to help, Natalie took the idea back to her colleagues at Master Fluid Solutions™ and proposed a donation to buy the pumps.
Her efforts were met with immediate support. Not only did Master Fluid Solutions™ approve the donation, but the funds provided were more than enough to cover the cost of two suction pumps for both the Colchester and Chelmsford clinics. With the remaining balance, Natalie was able to purchase two Shark Wand Vacuum Cleaners, which would help with cleaning up shaved fur from surgical areas, further ensuring the sterilization and safety of the surgical field.
A Visit to See the Impact
Following the delivery of the new equipment, Natalie returned to the Colchester clinic to see first- hand how Master Fluid Solutions™’ generous donation was making a difference. The staff were thrilled with the new equipment, and Natalie couldn’t have been more pleased with how it was being put to use.
She shared, “Giving back to local communities through supporting charities such as the RSPCA, is one of our core business values. We believe in helping to make the world a better place and I’m so happy to be able to provide this much needed equipment to the Essex Mid & North Branch, which will in turn benefit so many animals in the future. The RSPCA is a charity I personally hold dear to my heart due to their unwavering efforts to help innocent animals in need.”
A Big Thank You from the RSPCA
Derrick Yapp, Income Generation Manager from RSPCA Essex Mid & North said, “We are so touched that a major international company such as Master Fluid Solutions would give so generously to our cause. Natalie has proven to be a wonderful ambassador, not just to her company but to animals in this local area. We are immensely grateful for her wonderful support.”
