STAFF at a business publishing firm in Stoke Prior took part in a company litter pick in the area around their office, in an effort to inspire the local community to keep streets clean.

Aroq Ltd teamed up with Bromsgrove District Council and, armed with litter pickers, managed to collect an impressive 20 bin bags filled with rubbish.

CEO Richard Jackson said: "I’m delighted with the team’s efforts. I think it’s safe to say a small contribution has undoubtedly made a huge difference.

"Aroq is passionate about making its mark in the local community and I know this is just the start of our journey towards supporting more local causes.

"Hopefully now other businesses and visitors to the local area can enjoy a much cleaner environment.”
