“We have taken this decision in support of all the people affected by the war in Ukraine,” says Paul Walsh, CEO of TREND Networks. “We are committed to supporting those impacted by this situation in whatever way we can and sincerely hope that the conflict ends very soon.  TREND Networks will be doing all it can to ensure networks remain operational in Ukraine, given our test equipment empowers the connected world.”
 
To support aid efforts in Ukraine, members of the global TREND Networks team will also be taking part in a range of fundraising activities to raise donations for the International Committee of the Red Cross.  TREND Networks has committed to matching the total sum raised by employees.
