Mr Cullen, whose business is based in South Shields, said: “I had been chatting with friends and decided a food bank collection would be a great way to make a small difference.

“I spoke with my team and asked them to see if they could get a tin of food or something from their customers, family and friends.

“I expected about 30-40 items at the most, but we managed to collect 323 items.

“We are so grateful to everyone who helped us to achieve this amazing goal.”
