Hoseasons - Lowestoft

Staff at The Hoseasons Group in Lowestoft again did their bit for Comic Relief by being the dedicated call centre in Norfolk and Suffolk for receiving donations. In total, the team answered 3,547 calls, between 7pm and 12pm, resulting in an incredible £131,602.90 in donations.

The biggest donation received via the call centre on the evening was an outstanding £10,000 and the largest number of calls taken by one employee was 65.

It didn’t stop there! In-house fundraising at the Lowestoft office took place on Friday, with many different activities going on throughout the day including: Fancy Dress, Wii Dance Competition, Name the Teddy, and Gerry’s Quiz. In total we raised £600!

Employees of The Hoseasons Group in Earby also raised £660 throughout the day from their in-house activities including removal of John Dagleish’s, General Manager Boats, beard, which raised £200. Combining the total of both offices, The Hoseasons Group UK raised a pretty good fundraising total for Comic Relief of £1,260.

Geoff Cowley, Managing Director for The Hoseasons Group, comments: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank those at The Hoseasons Group for donating their Friday evening, and those who participated throughout the day, to what I, and many others consider a very worthy cause. It is extremely heart-warming to see the generosity of the British public, and has been a real honour to be part of this record-breaking evening.’
