More than 20 trees will be planted thanks to a Wisbech accountancy firm’s Christmas card appeal.

Bulley Davey collected 20,452 cards last month in aid of the Woodland Trust and Marks & Spencer’s tree-planting appeal – more than double last year’s 8,000 total.

Peter Wright, director at Bulley Davey, said: “We’ve been bowled over by the response this year, both by our own offices and the local community.”

The card haul follows on from the accountants’ fundraising last year, which included raising over £1,200 across their eight offices through a Macmillan Coffee Morning and £930 for Children in Need through one employee’s sponsored silence.
