Commercial Property specialists from Colliers International in Bristol are supporting the Movember campaign for prostate cancer charity by growing seasonal moustaches inspired by their favourite rockstars.
Nine clean-shaven rock fans from the company’s Broad Quay HQ have decided to sprout moustaches to raise cash for the charity – with a prize for the agent who grows the most convincing rockstar facial hair.
National Offices Director Stephen Lipfriend said the aim was to raise vital funds and awareness of prostate and other cancers that affect men.
He said: “The team registered at Movember.com on the first of the month with a clean-shaven face and will aim to grow a moustache inspired by their favourite rockstar by December. We drew up a list of the top 10 magnificent moustaches in rock but I am not sure we’re going to be able to match them in a month.
“Several of the younger guys are putting their faith in the George Michael look but that’s really glorified designer stubble. Freddie Mercury is also proving popular.
“Richard Wright is a deadringer for Billy Idol anyway but I am concerned some of the more folically challenged members of the team will be lucky to come up with a convincing Ron Mael from Sparks – no matter how many months they go without shaving.”
Since its launch in the moustache capital of the world in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has become a global movement inspiring more than 1.1 million people to forego shaving for a month. In 2010, more than 112,000 people took part raising £11.7 million for the charity.
