South Swindon MP Sir Robert Buckland has met Mountain Warehouse Founder and Chief Executive, Mark Neale, today in Westminster, to thank him for his generosity and support on behalf of the Wiltshire Turkish Community here in Swindon, following the recent devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Northern Syria.
Sir Robert contacted fellow Welshman, Mark Neale, back in February when he was assisting the Wiltshire Turkish Community with their relief efforts and the group had made an urgent request for winter tents.
Mountain Warehouse were very quick to respond and decided to donate a day’s profits from sales at all 264 stores, as well as profits from all online sales to the DEC campaign for the earthquake.
Sir Robert said:
“It was great to meet Mark today and thank him personally for his support on behalf of the Wiltshire Turkish Community here in Swindon.
“Swindon has led the way for Mark and Mountain Warehouse, where the very first store was opened here in the town back in 1997.
“Twenty-five years later, Mountain Warehouse now has 264 stores around the globe, including in Europe, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, with over 5 million customers.
“It was great to learn more about the business and I am delighted that Mark remains firmly committed to having a store here in Swindon, where it all began.”
