Telford man who pledged to donate part of earnings to hospice has raised £700
A Shropshire-based businessman who pledged to donate ten per cent of his first three months' takings to Severn Hospice after emerging from lockdown has already raised £700 – with a month still left to go.
Andrew Bowcott, who reopened his oven valeting business, Ovenu Telford, in mid-May, has already seen a considerable uplift in bookings during his first two full months back.
The 40-year-old from Doseley said: “Being unable to work during the height of the coronavirus lockdown was extremely frustrating but it’s great to be busy again and to know it’s also benefitting such a worthwhile cause.
“I’ve already raised £700 and hope to get well over the £1,000 mark by the end of August.”
