THE Staffordshire Search and Rescue Team is to receive a windfall of £7,000 following the death of a business executive.

IT expert James Gilliver died late last year - less than a year after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

At the time of his death, business associates at Newcastle-under-Lyme companies Bennett Architectural Aluminium Solutions and Castle Comfort Stairlifts had launched fundraising campaigns to support their business friend.

The companies took action to help with plans to fit an external lift at the home James shared with his wife Lisa at Mow Cop.
