A SHOPPING centre boss is putting his weight behind a new Manorlands fundraising venture.

Steve Seymour, manager of Keighley’s Airedale Centre, is shedding pounds to coin-in cash for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice.

“I’m aiming for a slimmer and fitter figure while raising funds for a fantastic charity,” he said.

Mr Seymour weighed in at 21st 13lbs at the start of the challenge and lost seven pounds in the first fortnight. He aims to shed at least 30lbs.
