Leading safety products firm expert Arco, which has a branch in Bradford in Bowling Back Lane, has launched its own ‘calendar girls’ charity calendar.

The calendar was created in support of the Jo Martin Cancer Care Trust, which supports organisations offering treatment and support to people suffering from cancer or a cancer-related illness.

Under the leadership of Arco’s HR director, Sandra Bateson, female staff from Arco branches across the country were invited to participate in the making of calendar.

In total, 60 willing models volunteered to create 12 photographs showing the Arco girls in a series of highly-creative shots, making use of an array of props and safety products from Arco.

The Jo Martin Cancer Care Trust was established following the death of Jo Martin, joint managing director of Arco, who died of breast cancer, aged 39, in February 2008.
