STAFF from a Trowbridge firm got the chance to try out their drumming and DJing skills on Friday.

Workers from Virgin Mobile were taking part in a workshop run by Creative Factory at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford on Avon.

Ben Jones from Creative Factory said: "It was really good fun working with adults was very different to working with children but we all had a good time and they seemed to enjoy it."

Creative Factory is a Bath Festivals Trust initiative that works with young people to allow them to make music.

Virgin Mobile became the project's only corporate sponsor last year. A spokesman said: "We employ 1,400 people in the area and we wanted to do something for the local area as well as something for our staff.

"The workshops allow staff to get away from their desks and get their creative juices flowing we work hard to keep our staff happy."
