A COMPANY is to give £1,500 to charity after it snowed on Christmas Day.
Marketing strategy specialists Propaganda - founded in Huddersfield 11 years ago - sent out a Christmas card to clients and businesses which promised that if it snowed on Christmas Day its chairman, Julian Kynaston, would have his head shaved for charity.
Snow did fall in Huddersfield on Christmas Day and the company is to fulfil its pledge by donating £750 to Kirkwood Hospice and £750 to the Simon Community For Homeless People in Leeds.
Mr Kynaston, 37, of Denby Dale, shaved his head on Boxing Day.
The card - sent to clients and businesses - stated: "If it snows on Christmas Day our chairman, Mr Julian Kynaston - a man noted for his well-groomed and stylish appearance - has promised he will shave his head for charity.
"Yes, he'll become a slap 'ed in 2005. Let's hope it's crisp 'n even."
The Propaganda group employs 70 people and projects its turnover this year to be £14m.
It was founded in Holmfirth in 1993 and its high profile clients include the BBC, internet service provider Yahoo!, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, Unilever, tool manufacturer Spear and Jackson and punk band The Damned.
The company relocated to a new 11,000sq ft office on York Road in Leeds at the end of September 2004.
The agency invested £2.5m in the new site, which provides two-floors of open plan offices.
