It's the Argus "what done it"

As midnight tolled last Friday, an exhausted 170-strong Inkfish team at the Queen Square Call Centre were over the moon to learn they had collected pledges of totalling £69,891 for Sport Relief. Earlier in the evening, the Mayor of Brighton, Councillor Carol Theobald, took the first call when the lines opened at 6.30pm and then Albion players Paul Reid and Tom Fraser as well as England Women's cricketers, Rosalie Birch and Alexia Walker were on the phone to take more of the incoming pledges. BBC TV South East broadcast their Sports Relief coverage live from Inkfish.

Inkfish Site Operations Manager, Ben Dale-Gough says: "It was brilliant to get so close to the target of £70,000 we set ourselves and it was over £30,000 more than we collected last year. I'd like to thank all our volunteers, including colleagues from our Wimbledon and Redhill offices and our visiting 'special' agents for all their hard work, particularly those involved in months of preparation to be ready for the big day. Thanks, too, to all the local traders who supported us, especially for the cakes and burgers which revitalised the agents coming straight off their day shift to man the phones."
