Severn Trent Water’s Midlands staff’s £9,000 boost for Movember
More than 130 men at the firm sported moustaches in exchange for sponsored donations for men’s charities which battle conditions including prostate and tesicular cancer.
Mike Gilpin, project manager for Severn Trent, said: “I’ve had mates who have had testicular cancer and I’ve seen them go though it, so it’s nice to be able to do something positive about. The ‘tache is a great conversation starter to raising awareness.”
