East Coast Radio - Catch Up Stacey & J Sbu

1937 Stephen Hunt's family opened their pyrotechnics and special effects business, Wells Fireworks. Throughout the last year, he has been doing everything he possibly can to help his employees and save his business.

Juneil Adams, an employee of Wells Fireworks, had this to say: "We went from doing 100 shows a year down to 2 this last year and we have still been paid. If ever we needed a vehicle he would lend us one without question. If we had personal problems he has been there for us. Now with the unrest in the country, there has been even more devastation to the company yet he remains positive."

In honour of Darren Maule's decade at East Coast Radio, he has joined up with LottoStar and roped us in to help give away some much-needed cash to the people who have been struggling throughout this COVID-19 pandemic. This is #DarrensTipJar.
