Finance director takes it on the chin for charity

The sight of Rock’s finance director Andrew Wood swinging his fists and stumbling about in a daze is, we’re happy to report, not a common one. Yes, it was a Saturday night and, yes, he was in a pub at the time. It was, however, all for a good cause.

Not to be outdone by John Walsh’s Herculean efforts for charity, Rock’s finance director Andrew Wood weighed in with his own test of physical endurance. No miles of kayaking or marching for Andrew. Instead he elected to, as he delicately put it, “have my head kicked in” at a charity boxing event held at the Grasshopper Inn in Westerham. All proceeds went to Help for Heroes, the charity which works to provide better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women.

The event was a big success and began with a champagne reception, though Andrew had to forego his bubbly for fear that he’d be punch drunk a little later. As it happened he wasn’t out for the count, but still on his feet by the end of his three rounds. Andrew bobbed and weaved his way to raising £3,000 on the night, which we believe does make him a champion of sorts.
