British Gas Complaints Handlers are off to a flying start with their LOROS Accumulator Challenge.

The British Gas Complaints Team managed by Maria Sweeney (one of the 8 British Gas teams signed up to the LOROS Accumulator Challenge), began their Challenge last Friday with a samosa sale which was a huge hit and made an opening profit of £25.

They continued their successful bid to grow their initial £50 by organising a 50/50 raffle on Monday which raised a whopping £150. Pictured are Maneeta, Nicky (the lucky raffle winner) and Kirsty.

On Tuesday, Greggs Bakery kindly donated 100 donuts to the British Gas team who managed to sell them all and added a further £110 to their total so far. Alt text Maneeta, Kirsty and Liz are pictured left selling the donuts to the staff.

What an absolutely fantastic start they have made to their challenge to raise funds for LOROS.
