Newbury firm raises nearly £2k for Movember

The Newbury pub received a welcome shot in the arm on what could have been a quiet Tuesday night, as the venue for the Donnington New Homes ‘Grand Shave Off’ of five highly distinctive moustaches, adorning the upper lips of male colleagues at the Newbury-based housebuilding company.

The Donnington New Homes members had grown their moustaches in support of Movember and reached out to their business contacts and friends to support their efforts in raising awareness of male health issues, ranging from mental health issues to prostate cancer.

The company held an early Christmas drinks gathering at The Newbury pub to witness the de-fluffing and to thank those who had supported the cause.

Managing director Mark Norgate thanked all in attendance, especially the Turkish barbers from Legends Clocktower branch who gave their time to perform the Grand Shave Off with cut throat razors.

The team managed to raise £1,930 for Movember, and would like to thank all those who showed their support.
