STAFF at a Yorkshire green energy specialist left their suits at home and wore their jeans to work to support Jeans for Genes Day 2014.

Leo Group Ltd, which runs Omega Proteins near Denholme, raised £280 by donning their denim for the day as well as selling raffle tickets and denim-wearing gingerbread men.

Its managing director Danny Sawrij said: “By fundraising for Jeans for Genes Day, Leo Group is helping Genetic Disorders UK in the amazing work that they do, offering much needed care and support to children with genetic disorders."
