Defibrillator secured for school

A recruitment business has funded a life-saving defibrillator for a village primary school.

Brook Community Primary received the equipment from The Oliver King Foundation.

HR GO Recruitment - which is based in Ashford - spent £1,000 on the equipment for the school after Andrew Watson, a member of the firm’s staff, suffered a cardiac arrest. Head teacher Chris Green, said: “It’s really important because there’s been no defibrillator in the village.”
