A Midland marketing agency raised £180 for Comic Relief by dressing up as characters from film and television.

Bromsgrove-based Gough Bailey Wright held an office quiz and sold homemade cakes for Red Nose Day, which supports charity projects across the UK and Africa.

GBW’s managing director Sue Bailey said: “The office was awash with superheroes, screen legends and TV characters, as staff really got into the charity’s spirit of being funny for money.

“We all had an amazing time raising vital funds for such a worthwhile cause.”

Established in 1936, the company stands as the longest running independent advertising and public relations agency in the West Midlands.
