The campaign is being organised by Chris Owen of Marshall Aerospace, who said: ‘It is fantastic that we have got so many employees signed up for Movember this year and we have set ourselves an ambitious campaign of raising more than the £8,000 we raised in 2011.’
Terry Holloway, Group Support Executive of the Marshall Group of Companies said: ‘It is fantastic that so many of our employees are taking part in this important National Campaign and I am looking forward to judging some fine moustaches at the end of the event on Friday 30 November ‘
A number of Marshall employees taking part in the campaign gathered to have their photograph taken without moustaches on Thursday – the first day of Movember. They are pictured in front of Marshall of Cambridge’s Head Office Building.
