STAFF at a Whitefield car showroom were geared up in pink to help raise awareness of breast cancer.

Sales staff at Mercedes-Benz Whitefield, in Bury Old Road, showed their support for the Breast Cancer Research Think Pink campaign by donning pink shirts and ties.

And even though health and safety regulations prevented the tehcnicians from ditching their usual blue outfits, they also got in on the act by wearing pink protective gloves!

The showroom was decorated in pink flowers and balloons, while customers were treated to some pink marshmallows washed down with pink lemonade.

Lynne Hilton, marketing manager, said: "We wanted to basically help out a charity which we all thought was a really good cause."

Customers were asked to join in by making donations to the charity while staff members competed in competitions to win donated prizes. In total, they raised £180.
