A fundraiser for two siblings owed unpaid wages after their employer pulled out of running a Norfolk pub has raised over £1,000.

Twins Maddison and Maverick Beck, both 18, were left without pay after hospitality company Snug Hospitality pulled out of running the Queens Head in Thurlton, Norfolk. The new landlord, Dean Harrison, who took over last month, launched a fundraiser for the siblings to cover their unpaid wages. The fundraising page has raised over £1,000 towards the £800 owed.

The twins became the final two members of staff at the pub after managers and supervisors were redeployed elsewhere. They were responsible for opening and closing the venue, cleaning, serving customers and carrying out day-to-day duties during its final weeks of trading before closing on 29 August. Dean Harrison said their work 'helped keep our local pub open for those final weeks, allowing us to continue enjoying our local and the community it brings together'.
