MURKETTS of Stapleford spent a day in the pink last week.
All manager, receptionists, technicians and sales staff joined a local hair salon, to launch the Wear It Pink fund-raising event for Breast Cancer Research.
The Vauxhall dealer even set a challenge for staff – to see who indulged in the most pink garb possible. Donating £2 for every pink item recorded.
Customers were also invited to join in, too: great publicity and guaranteed to increase footfall.
Fran Andrews, who organised the event, was overjoyed with the response: ‘On Friday, Murketts was just a mass of pink, and we are hoping to raise even more than last year to help beat breast cancer.
‘So far this year, have we raised £109 and with everyone’s help, we are hoping to exceed that.’
