FIGURES wizards from Ernst and Young used all their accounting skills to raise enough money to help buy vital baby care equipment for Royal Berkshire Hospital.

Staff from the company's Apex Plaza base organised a disco to raise more than £5,000 for a much needed travel incubator for the Buscot Ward.

Activities at the disco included game-playing and a slave auction - where workmates bought the services of colleagues to carry out their daily chores.

Karen Ison, of the Buscot's charity committee, said: "Many thanks go to Ernst and Young for their hard work raising this fantastic sum."
