REMA, the trade association for manufacturers of retroreflective traffic safety products, has donated £1,000 to Brake, the road safety charity dedicated to prevention, through education, of death and injury on the roads and caring for people bereaved or affected by serious road injury.

REMA chairman, Mike Mason, presented a cheque to Aimee Bowen, Brake’s communication officer, at the association’s annual general meeting held at the International Convention Centre, Birmingham.

“With its relentless year-round campaigning and high-profile annual Road Safety Week, Brake is outstanding in its promotion of road safety awareness,” commented Mike Mason. “REMA members are delighted to add their support.
