News: Bank staff put to work at Magna

By

Bank workers swapped their desks and keyboards for paint brushes and overalls to help brighten up Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham.

The 14 members of the Sheffield-based HSBC customer analytics team spent a day painting the dark purple walls of the back office area cream and red.

Joanna Dunn, marketing manager at Magna, said: "Magna is a registered charity; so there is always pressure on how money is spent.

"The back office area not only accommodates staff but also hosts VIP guests and corporate clients attending corporate events so it is important it looks good.

"We were impressed with the speed of the team and are very pleased to have a nice fresh look."

Magna is housed in the former Templeborough steelworks which were once the biggest in the world and employed 10,000 people. The works were built during World War One and shut in 1993. They remained derelict until being transformed into an award-winning visitor attraction in 2001.

Magna's indoor four pavilions are on a theme of earth, air, fire and water, and visitors can also see the works' original arc furnace brought back to life through dramatic special effects.

There are daily guided steel tours to explain the steel making process and show what life was life for steel workers.

HSBC has a corporate responsibility to make a positive contribution to the communities in which it's based, actively supporting and encouraging employee volunteering.
