Oxford Business Park goes red to support National Heart Month
2 March 2010
Employees at leading property group Goodman, along with its occupiers at Oxford Business Park, turned red for the day in February to save lives by supporting the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Wear Red to Work day.
As part of National Heart Month, Goodman invited its employees and other occupiers based at Oxford Business Park to raise money by wearing red to work for the day. Goodman along with employees from Grafton Merchanting and Marks & Clerk LLP raised over £165 to help fight the UK’s biggest killer - heart and circulatory disease.
Jim Johnston, CEO of UK Business Parks at Goodman, said: “We decided to support the Wear Red to Work campaign because we wanted to do something fun for a good cause that would involve the whole Park community at Theale. This initiative allowed us to do this by joining forces with our occupiers to raise money for the British Heart Foundation’s vital work.”
Jackie Skeel, Head of National Campaigns at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Thanks to Goodman going Red for Heart the money raised will help save lives and fight the UK’s biggest killer.”
