The MSP for Aberdeenshire East said: “This is good news for Wood RecyclAblity and is a great start to their fundraising campaign as they look to purchase new equipment.
“This is tangible support for a social enterprise doing exceptional work locally.
“I am delighted that BP have offered their support following my requests when I met with their vice president earlier this year.
“I hope this money will just be the start of support for Wood RecyclAbility and would urge other oil companies and businesses to also add their support.”
