Builders help cement future with wedding day dance

Twinkletoed tilers, point-perfect plasterers and balletic builders helped make it a wedding day to remember for a Staffordshire couple.

Eight workers from Cannock firm Hickenbuild swapped their usual tools for killer dance moves when they performed a choreographed routine for colleague Adam Hicken as he wed Ammie Bradbury.

The group had spent weeks practising their routine, which started with a waltz and included some Beyonce moves, a bit of Dirty Dancing and, of course, the YMCA.

Among those to don high-visbility jackets and hard hats was managing director of Hickenbuild, Steve Hicken. He said he wanted to do something to surprise now daughter-in-law Ammie and son Adam, who works for the company.

The routine received a rousing response from wedding guests at Hawkesyard Estate in Rugeley on Saturday.

The newlyweds, who met while at Cardinal Griffin School in Cannock, had their first dance before the surprise act burst in.

Mr Hicken was joined on the dancefloor by plasterers Martin Hughes and Phil Collinge, Ammie's father Stephen Bradbury, apprentice Daniel Sheargold, tilers Chris Park and Ian Wilcroft and technician Bill Sheargold.
