HUNKY factory workers are showing off their packaging for a saucy calendar to raise cash for a cancer charity.

Twelve men at packaging and container suppliers de la Pak, based in Cropthorne, near Pershore, stripped off to raise money for the Cobalt Unit Appeal Fund after a colleague was diagnosed with cancer.

The calendar was designed by Jeremy Field of Media House in Worcester and the pictures were taken by Darren Shipman of dpix Photography in Bromsgrove.

Internal sales executive Ros Payne, who organised the calendar with colleague Melanie Freckleton, said the photos were all taken on a cold and wet day last week around the company's warehouse and offices.

"They were all really good sports, and 75 per cent took their shirts off," she said.

"Not all of them are exactly stud material. They all took the mickey out of themselves."

Two thousand copies of the calendar, costing £5 each, are expected to be delivered in early November.
