Distributors win contest at first attempt

From the archive, first published Wednesday 21st Sep 2005.

STAFF from a distribution centre had a knockout time when they joined in a slapstick competition.

Exel from South Marston Industrial Park took part in the It's a Knockout competition against nine other centres ­ in the company's first appearance in the contest.

The team and its group of supporters travelled up by coach to Long Eaton in Nottingham, and came home with a cup and a shield, as well as £500 to be donated to a local charity of choice ­ in this case the Prospect Hospice ­ and £250 for a night out for themselves.

Liz White, from Exel's social club said: "A good time was had by all, even if the competitors got very wet!"
