RAMSBOTTOM'S Brighter Business Solutions are testing their daredevil instincts by taking part in the Marie Curie Big Zip Challenge.

The team hopes to raise over £500 for the cancer charity, in order to qualify for a ride on the specially constructed zip wire at Salford Quays.

Ruth Robinson, Shelley Tattersall and Andrea Birtwhistle will brave the dizzy heights of the 180ft viewing tower at the Imperial War Museum North, before whizzing over the Manchester Ship Canal and landing 300m later at the Lowry.

Ruth Robinson, managing director, said: "We wanted to take part in a team building activity everyone could get involved with. This seemed the perfect opportunity to take part in something a little out the ordinary, while supporting the work of the charity."
