An office plant potted 14 years ago has grown to 600ft with its own sponsorship deal.

Allie Brennan, 51, and her husband, Des, 57, bought the ivy as a small potted cutting in 2009 to brighten up the work space.

Now, more than 14 years later, the plant has grown to almost 600ft – sprouting new shoots which workers have pinned up across the office walls and hanging from computers.

The ivy grows at a rate of six inches per month and covers almost the entire office of Protective Solutions Ltd in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire – the packaging company Des founded in 2006.
