 Maria (left) Dave, Melanie and Georgia On Friday Good Directions joined in the national 'Wear it Pink Day' by wearing pink clothes to work and donating £2 each to the breast cancer campaign. We also played the 'guess the next item on the washing line' game that was included in the charity pack. The organiser of the pink day (Rosalie) chose what she would next put on the washing line and everyone had to pay £1 to have a guess, with half the money raised going to the charity and the winner receiving the other half of the money. At the end of the day it was reveiled that Maria had chosen the correct item (a pair of knickers) but kindly donated her winnings to the charity instead of keeping it. Overall Good Directions Ltd staff raised well over £500 for the very worthy cause so a big well done and thank you to all the staff.

Dave Quainton, one of our Production & Workshop Technician's decided to dye his hair and eyebrows pink for the day and before he knew it he was dared to wear it pink all over and come into work dressed as a woman for the day. Donations have been given of a dress, hat, handbag, shoes, tights, glasses and even a bra and pink briefs with supporters now sponsoring him over £400 already. Working in our machine shop helping to manufacture large exterior clocks and architectural features, Dave will be wearing his pink outfit while milling, drilli
