With the help of Andrew Flintoff, Plasti-kote, the market leading brand in spray paints, provided one of the most sought-after auction prizes at a Charity Gala Dinner held in Australia last month.

Chairs for Charity raised money for cancer and children's charities by auctioning chairs painted or signed by celebrities and, as title sponsors, Plasti-kote wanted to make a significant contribution. Andrew Flintoff made that possible when he agreed to sign a 'cricket' chair specially commissioned in his honour.

Sandra Dobbin, Managing Director of Master Distributors, the organisers of the event, was thrilled with Plasti-kote's contribution. "Andrew Flintoff is a great English sporting hero that Australians truly admire and on the eve of the Ashes there could have been no finer contribution from our partners at Plasti-kote."

The chair, designed by master craftsman Alexander O'Neil, incorporates stumps, cricket bats and balls and is made from solid Sussex oak, willow and ash.

Mike Watson, Global Managing Director Aerosol, is very grateful to Flintoff for his support. "2006 has been an excellent year for Plasti-kote and we are delighted to be able to share some of our success by sponsoring and contributing to such a worthwhile cause. We wish the England cricket team similar success in the Ashes!"
