ICELAND HELPS IN SEARCH FOR BRIAN HESKETH FROM BOOTLE

43 YEAR OLD Brian Hesketh, from Bootle, Merseyside, is the latest missing person to be featured in an initiative by Iceland and the National Missing Persons Helpline. Launched four years ago the partnership aims to raise public awareness of missing people and to date has helped to resolve over a third of the cases featured. Each month Iceland 2 litre milk cartons carry a picture and brief description of a missing person.

January sees the tenth anniversary of Brian Hesketh's disappearance and from today until the end of January, Brian's photograph and his description will appear on the cartons and an Iceland lorry in the hope of jogging someone's memory. The National Missing Person' confidential Freephone numbers also appears to enable anyone with news to make that important call.

Brian was last seen leaving his place of work at 12:00 noon on the 4th January 1994. He told colleagues that he was taking an early lunch but he did not return and he has not been seen since. Brian lived in the Gateacre area of Liverpool and worked as a civil engineer for the council but had recently been unhappy at work.

Brian is 6ft 1ins tall of heavy build with dark brown hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen he was wearing a dark suit with a collar and tie. He may have an anorak over his suit.

If you have any information as to the whereabouts of Brian please call the confidential National Missing Persons Helpline on Freephone 0500 700 700.

Alternatively, Brian can let someone know he is ok by calling the Message Home Helpline on Freephone 0800 700 740. Calls are confidential and a message can be passed on to his family.
