2011 - Spooner Employees Get Revenge on Management to Raise Money for Comic Relief

Over £800 was raised by the employees at Spooner Industries Head Office in West Yorkshire in support of Comic Relief as they took time out to celebrate Red Nose Day on Friday 18th March. A host of fund raising activities including fancy dress competitions, cake baking, a raffle of promises, games and quizzes took place with the highlight and biggest money maker being the ‘Punish your Manager’ nominations. In the run up to Comic Relief, jars displaying mug shots of the Management Team including Managing Director, Mike Brook; Sales & Project Director, Steve Newell; Manufacturing Manager, Robert Proctor; Technical Manager, Andrew Marson and Financial Controller, John Muggleston were placed on reception for staff to make donations to decide who should receive a custard pie in the face. Kate Baker, Marketing Manager for Spooner said: “As a UK manufacturer supplying companies around the world, we are pleased to be able to raise money to help the less fortunate in some of those countries. Red Nose Day also provides a great excuse for Spooner employees to get their own back on the management.” The results were unanimous with the clear favourite, or least favourite, Robert Proctor whose jar contained a whooping £129, with Steve Newell taking second place as his jar contained a deserving £87. The custard pies, which had been kindly donated by the Loafer, were offered to the crowd for extra donations and in total Robert received three sloppy pies in the face before Steve Newell 'allowed' a custard covered Robert to administer the remaining pie in his face!
