THE sound of a job well done is now being broadcast.
Housing developer and landlord Aster Group has helped renovate a radio station at Wellington Academy, in Tidworth.
Gordon Moody, a painter and decorator at Aster, has helped finish the year-long project led by Baz Reilly, a teacher and presenter on DukeBox, the official radio station of the Wellington family of schools.
As part of its paid volunteering scheme, Aster arranged for Gordon to spend three days with Baz, helping repaint the studio and surrounding corridors.
Baz said: “I’ve worked on the project for over a year and a half so to finally see it finished is just incredible.
“I can’t thank Aster enough for arranging for Gordon to help with the finishing touches. Without the help it would have taken a lot longer to finish. He did a great job and put in a lot of extra time to ensure it was all finished.”
Gary Prince, operations director at Aster, said: “We’re always happy to support our local communities and we encourage our employees to donate their time and skill to helping projects like this.
“A lot of Wellington pupils live in our homes and it was an added bonus to be able to help a project that will benefit not only the community, but our customers as well.”
