Happy Brithday Marty!

Text: Marty Oliver will never forget his 40th birthday - thanks to a big idea by his workmates.

The company boss was greeted with a gian billboard birthday card as he drove to work on his birthday.

Mr Oliver, managing director of Kwik-Fit Financial Services in Lanarkshire, was stunned when he looked up at a billboard just off the M8 at Uddingston.

On it was a giant photo of himself as a baby - with a special birthday message. And 30 of his work colleagues were waiting nearby.

Martin said: "I coulodn't believe my eyes. It took a while for it to register but as soon as it did I couldn't stop my self from laughing".

"They've used a picture of me when I was a baby so I'm sure it brought everyone a few laughs when they were sneaking around putting it together."
