The event, which included a two day machinery show at the P&J Live Arena, was held to celebrate the landmark in the company’s history.

Martin Ross, managing director of the St Cyrus-based firm, said: “The money raised from our charity dinner will be split between two very worthy causes, Macmillan Cancer Care and RSABI. There is still money coming in and we will release the final total once it is all in and tallied up.
