A GENERATOR hire company has used its power to do good at a military event in Catterick Garrison.

Genhire North Yorkshire raised £335 to support wounded veterans charity, Help for Heroes, by donating all proceeds to the cause.

The firm, which also specialises in event lighting, made Cambrai Barracks sparkle for the 200 guests at the The Royal Lancers Officers' Mess Ball.

Company director James Johnson said: "I have the utmost respect for the men and women that risk their lives for us so when I was asked to do the event it seemed like a great opportunity to give something back."
