What a fantastic Staff Away Day 2026! ☀️

Our team enjoyed a day of reflecting on the past year, looking ahead to the future, and celebrating our hardworking, dedicated teams.

From department updates and an alfresco lunch to an afternoon of bowling and a charity cake sale, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect people across our three offices and raise over £250 for our charity of the year, DAVSS. A great day all round!
