4Com's raffle rally raises cash for key charities

Salisbury-based 4Com raised £2,500 for charities Help For Heroes and Variety Club in the lead up to the Bournemouth Air Show weekend on 18-21 August.

 

The charity push saw 4Com Group MD Daron Hutt and a dozen office-based staff hit Bournemouth's streets to sell raffle tickets for a new Mazda 2 donated by the local Mazda dealership.

Oak Telecom's James Emm joined the charity effort and according to Hutt his ticket selling tactics were a big hit with the public. "James' approach to the public was comical, often starting conversation off with jokes and or puns. The public really warmed to him," said Hutt.

4Com also purchased 100 tickets for its staff to attend the Festival Ball at The Pavilion in Bournemouth town centre. The proceeds from ticket sales and the ball went to the two nominated charities.

Hutt added: "Being out there selling raffle tickets for the two great charities really took me back to my roots of face-to-face sales. I feel privileged to be involved. Special thanks to James for joining me and the 4Com team during this fund raising event."

The event, including the charity raffle at The Festival Ball, raised over £40,000 for the charities.
