A TEAM set up to help build workers' skills has donned fancy dress to send a festive greeting to its clients.
The staff from the Derwentside Training for Industry Unit (DTIU) dressed up in seasonal costumes, donated by Fantasia's Fancy Dress Shop in Blackhill, for an e-mail Christmas card.
The unit is the business development arm of Derwentside College, in Consett. It operates satellite centres on the Team Valley industrial estate and one in Stanley Indoor Market. In the past year, it has enrolled 2,364 workers onto courses and worked with 287 companies across the region.
Gillian Dyson, DTIU workforce development leader, said: "The Christmas card is a light-hearted way for the DTIU to thank all its customers, past and present."
