Thirteen of our most fearless team members now share a lasting bond forged in mud, teamwork, and muscle cramp. Together, we triumphed over Tough Mudder’s 13 obstacles scattered across 5 kilometres in South London in the name of raising money for charity. 

As a family-owned business, The Childhood Trust, a London-based charity, holds a special place in our hearts. We’re thrilled to announce that our collective efforts raised an impressive £2950 for this incredible charity. Our sincere gratitude extends to colleagues, clients, suppliers, friends, and family whose generous donations fuelled this muddy adventure, transforming it into an unforgettable experience. We’re truly humbled by the impact we’ve achieved together.

A special thank you goes to our team:  Sandra Ribiero, Lucy Walker, Ashley Thompson, Russell Blunt, Maddie Mongan, Lisa Pursglove, Matt Swift, Fausto Heredia-Flores, Elsa Costa, Dylan Harper and Jay Hookway. A sincere thank you also goes to Leanne Trotter, who graciously stepped in to replace a colleague. 

Russell Blunt, our Projects Manager, shared his thoughts: “It was inspiring to witness people from across our business facing each challenge as a united team, relying on one another’s strengths and offering encouragement. This experience has significantly strengthened our connections and left us with wonderful memories. I’m grateful to have been a part of it for a second time and to have raised a meaningful amount for The Childhood Trust.”
