Marshall hosts 'The Great Bake-Off' for Red Nose Day
20 March 2013
Marshall of Cambridge entered, once again, wholeheartedly into Comic Relief and at Head Office all of the staff energetically rolled up their sleeves in a baking competition, to bake cakes, which were then subsequently sold in aid of Comic Relief. In total £325 was raised for Comic Relief as a result of some very delicious cakes.
