Beko has supported the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Gosport, Hampshire, with a charitable donation to its ‘Saving HMS Alliance Appeal’. The Appeal is a fundraising drive to save HMS Alliance, the World War II era submarine, which enjoyed a 28 year career in active service, and became the memorial to 5,300 British submariners who have lost their lives in service.
Her current position berthed above the waterline of Portsmouth Harbour has caused serious corrosion to the 67 year old vessel and have left the submarine in need of conservation costing almost £7m. The donation was organised by members of the Koç family, as conservation is a fundamental principle of the Turkish conglomerate that owns Beko Plc.
