PUBLIC relations staff from Lerwick are raising cash for the local
lifeboat service by taking a yellow wellie around the country.
 Employees from Shaw Marketing and Design arrive in Aberdeen
this morning (Friday) as part of a “yellow wellie relay”.
The relay involves delivering the wellie from their Lerwick office
to their office in Edinburgh over the course of five weekends,
stopping off at all seven lifeboat stations on the way by 26
October.
Yesterday Shetland lifeboat coxswain Bruce Leask became the first
RNLI representative to sign the wellie before it went south on the
ferry.
The RNLI has thrown down the gauntlet to companies in Scotland to
try and raise £1,000 for them by December, with Shaw hoping they
will beat this target with their scheme. |

Shaw’s deputy managing director Isabel Johnson said: “RNLI
challenged the creative industries to
raise funds in a creative way and our response is the Yellow Wellie
Relay.“Our team have
certainly risen to this challenge and we hope to raise far in excess
of the £1,000 target set by RNLI.”
Shaw’s clients are also being encouraged to take part and can put
themselves forward by calling 01595 692465 or by e-mail at
