Best Buy jumps into Action!
The 14th-21st of May marked Children's Hospice Week across the UK, and this year has the theme of Superhero's, proving that just like superheroes, the hospices are there for people when they need them the most.
To mark the June opening of Best Buy, the world's leading technology store, in the town, the retailer has shown its community spirit by appointing three of their customer and product specialists; Laura Whitworth, Jonny Gascoigne and Pauline Hepburn to participate in a 150ft plunge that was held at the Abyss at Magna on the 21st May.
Peter Bryant, Departmental Manager at Best Buy Rotherham said: "This is a great joint initiative between The Source and Best Buy in Rotherham. Not only is this a great sense of achievement for the individuals involved, but it also gives Best Buy an opportunity to support such a worthy cause. It was great to see our guys taking the plunge dressed as superheros."
The 45,000 sq ft store which opens in June, will showcase the best in audio and visual equipment, computing technology, entertainment devices, appliances, mobiles, music, movies and games. Best Buy Blueshirts - the in-store team - will also be on hand to help make buying technology easier by providing tailored and impartial advice.
Mike Denby, Business Communication Manager at The Source Skills Academy, said: "Best Buy is a great example of a national organisation that is passionate about supporting the local community. We have been working with Best Buy in recent months to train their staff prior to opening the new Rotherham store and are pleased to be working with such a community orientated retailer."
