Spreading cheer in the New Year
Posted by Dave ToynJanuary 6th, 2009
Client Westleigh Developments Ltd has helped spread some post-Christmas cheer by donating £1,000 to charity as part of its online festive “Block Blaster” game.
Rather than sending Christmas cards to its suppliers and customers, Whetstone-based Westleigh chose the green option and made its season’s greetings via email. Recipients were then invited to log on to their website to play the simple game, with the highest scorer winning £1,000 for the charity of their choice.
Matt Preston from Safety First Electrical was announced as the winner and he selected both Rainbows Children Hospice and Oxfam to receive £500 each. Matt wouldn’t say how long he’d spent playing the game but did admit to waking up early on the final day to check he was still top of the leaderboard. Now that’s dedication!
Members of the Unsworth Sugden team also tried their luck but proved no where near as good as Matt. Dave reached the giddy heights of 14th in his only attempt (albeit temporarily as he was pushed back down, and probably completely off, the leaderboard) whilst Hannah battled hard but eventually ran out of lives. The noises coming from Emma’s office suggested she didn’t get too far either!
