AN employee at a Barnoldswick estate agents has set himself a hair raising challenge.

As part of Petty's Corporate Challenge, Aaron Tunbridge, an associate director at the firm, has agreed to have his all his chest hair waxed once he has raised £500.

The Corporate Challenge sees businesses competed to raise money for Pendleside Hospice after an initial £50 given to them by the hospice.

It is then up to the companies involved to turn that into as much money as possible in a four-month period from June 1 to September 30.

So far Petty’s staff members have taken part in numerous events including the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, Burnley 10k and the Pendle Hill Trig point picture challenge.

“After some of our team took part in the very physical challenges like the 3 Peaks and the Burnley 10k, I thought it would be good to do something a little different," said Aaron. "It seemed like a good idea at the time but after watching a few Youtube videos I’m beginning to have second thoughts!

“My aim is to raise £500 and once this target amount has been reached, a public venue, date and time of the chest waxing will be confirmed. Hopefully we’ll film it and post it on the Petty Facebook page.”
