Gary Hoffman and colleagues visited Bexhill Academy to chat to year 10 students about careers and employability – Gary even giving a quick interview to Bexhill FM while he was at the school.
Charity shops Cancer Research and Mind were taken over by Hastings Direct for the afternoon as the colleagues donated to the shops, sorted stock, assisted customers and helped on the till.
Representatives from the general insurance provider also chatted with members of the public in Devonshire Square about careers at Hastings Direct while the final group met with local businesses and suppliers in Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne who kindly donated prizes for the company’s annual charity raffle with all proceeds benefiting Hastings Direct’s local charity partners.
Lucy Johnson, from Hastings Direct, said, “Twelve of the leadership team headed to Bexhill Caring Community to run an afternoon of bingo. We were armed with enough tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits to sink a battleship and we all had a great time.”
