Ariston turned up the heat recently when staff members posed for the company's 2011 calendar - in the buff.

Inspired by the film Calendar Girls, each month of the charity calendar features an office scene with members of the Ariston team.


The company's service director Phil Goddard came up with the idea after setting up a studio for product photography.


"We had been talking about what a wonderful job Macmillan do, as many of us have received support or know someone who has been supported by them," Goddard said of the cancer support organisation.


"Having seen the film Calendar Girls," he added, " I realised this could be the perfect opportunity to raise money for this amazing charity.


"We had a lot of fun putting this together and I would like to thank everyone involved for their help and their bravery!"


All proceeds from calendar sales will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.


Calendars are on sale now for £10 and can be ordered by calling Ariston customer services on 0870 600 9888 and pressing option '1'.
