Helen Quayle, the owner of LaserHQ Limited, has said she is proud to sponsor the installation of a defibrillator to a community close to her heart.

The Whitefield business owner supported the new installation which is located outside of the Queen Anne pub on Hollins Lane, which was fitted for free by Stuart from Outwood Electrical.

Helen said: "This community is very close to my heart, where I grew up, so this just felt like the right thing to support, and hopefully it can save someone's life."

Members of the community and fellow fundraisers joined Helen and some of the LaserHQ employees last week for the official unveiling by Cllr Joan Grimshaw.
