We walked 12.7km from our office in Boldon to Penshaw Monument, in a time of 2 hours 30 minutes!
We joined the pledge to raise £50,000 for Alzheimer’s Society and we showed our commitment to this yesterday on our walk.
We got great feedback in
the staff survey
In the 2024 staff survey, we achieved a fantastic score of 71 out of 100 on the Employee Satisfaction Index, indicating that we have a highly satisfied workforce. This is a great result, and we want to thank you all for your continued dedication and feedback.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are committed to building on these positive results. A key focus will be embedding a robust rewards and recognition scheme that truly reflects your needs and contributions. But we can’t do this without your input.
We want to hear from all of you to help us shape this scheme. The marketing team will be reaching out in the first three weeks of January to chat with you and gather this vital information. Your voice is essential in creating a program that works for everyone.
We tripled our target in Our Elf Run
We’re thrilled to share that during our annual Elf Run this year, we didn’t just meet our fundraising goal for the Alzheimer’s Society—we tripled it! What started as a fun-filled event quickly turned into an inspiring display of generosity and teamwork.
We had a Massive rebrand
Our staff night out success
This year, a special highlight was the success of our first fully inclusive team nights out, expertly organized by Rob Mackins. A big thank you goes to Annie and David for their support in making these events possible.
Both evenings were thoroughly enjoyed, with great food, drinks, and the chance to connect and get to know one another better. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many agreeing that the nights contributed to building a more cohesive and close-knit team.
While not everyone could attend, lessons have been learned, and future events will be planned with staggered dates to ensure more team members can join in the fun. These nights have set the tone for more inclusive and engaging team-building experiences to come!
Wishing you an amazing 2025!
Our new approach
