TOP executives from Hampshire defence giant VT proved to be a dab hand in the kitchen when they raised £35,423 for charity by baking cakes.
The group of 80 top managers from across the Hedge End based firm's 14,000-strong multi-billion-pound global business baked cookies, muffins, flapjacks and cakes as part of a conference at Southampton's De Vere hotel.
They then sold them across the city, including at the Daily Echo's Redbridge offices, to raise the hefty sum for chronic fatigue charity ME Action.
Simon Withey, managing director for education and skills, said: "We have been welcomed everywhere we have been. Everyone has been really supportive. People have been very generous."
