A TEAM of work colleagues from Quensh Specialists Limited swapped the corporate life for the beach as part of an environmental awareness campaign to support a local beauty spot.
The group from Ellon-based Quensh joined forces with another local business, J+S Subsea, on Friday (June 9th) to take part in a clean-up effort at Newburgh Beach, where they collected 138kg (or just over 300lbs) of plastic and other waste.

Clothing kits and gear were supplied by East Grampian Coastal Partnership (EGCP), an organisation promoting the sustainable development and management of the East Grampian Coast.
The Quensh team then continued the ‘support local’ movement by enjoying lunch at new local venue, the OGV Taproom at Newburgh Beach.
Quensh Managing Director Andy James said: “The beach clean-up provided a fun and hands-on opportunity to bring our teams together to help make a difference to our local environment.
“It was a great chance to empower the team and inspire change to keep our local beach looking beautiful for all to enjoy.”
