‘Yorkshire santa’ Reese Fletcher and his ‘elves’ from Kippax, West Yorkshire have made nearly £40,000 from selling Christmas trees out of pallet boxes over the past few years. This year they are adding more items to their sleigh such as reindeers and wooden gifts to flog to customers near and far.

Father-of-three Reese said: “Just because the cost of living crisis is nothing new, it is impacting more families and children than ever. So we want to sell more items in order to be able to buy toys for children in need across Yorkshire.

“We had so many people wanting to buy products to be posted or they had already bought our christmas trees in previous years, so we decided to make Yorkshire baubles to post and large wooden reindeers.”
