A Black Country shopfitting firm has raised £50,000 for charity at a celebration to mark 50 years of business, with a guest appearance from Dudley comedian Sir Lenny Henry.

The money raised by The Alan Nuttall Partnership, is set to be split between Cancer Research UK and the Alzheimer’s Society.

Sir Lenny, a former engineering apprentice himself, gave an after dinner speech at the event at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull, in front of 300 guests.
