Branston Billy

Leading potato supplier Branston has showered a local kids club with support.

Branston All Saints Kidz Club, based in the Lincolnshire village where the business is based, has been handed sponsored shirts from the potato firm, and also received a visit from Billy Branston, the company's mascot.

Billy gave out goodies and informed the children about his Amazing Potato Factory - a fully kitted-out double-decker bus which is set to tour schools from September to teach pupils about potatoes.

Simon Telfer, Branston HR director, said: 'We are delighted to be supporting the Kidz Club with their 'Awesome'-themed summer holiday session.

'It's one of a number of local causes that we've supported recently, and it was an ideal opportunity for Billy Branston to get out and in the local community to talk about potatoes.'

Branston All Saints Kidz Club is a group of children aged four to 11 years old who meet twice monthly throughout the school year and more frequently during the school holidays.
