STEP UP FOR SMART WORKS 👟🏅 This month our HR team has taken on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps every day in support of #StepUpforSmartWorks and supporting the Smart Works Newcastle Centre. Smart Works is a charity that we work very closely with; it empowers unemployed women into work through high quality interview clothing and coaching. By walking 10,000 steps each day throughout the month, we aim to raise awareness and funds for this incredible cause. Every step counts towards helping women build confidence and take the next step toward a brighter future. If you'd like to support our efforts and contribute to Smart Works, below is our fundraising page and we would be so grateful for your donation! Every little bit makes a difference. 🙏 https://lnkd.in/enRWtMJr

💜Celebrating International Women’s Day 💜 Yesterday, we joined in on the global celebrations of women’s achievements for #InternationalWomensDay with an exciting event hosted by our Inclusion Network. The event consisted of three incredible guest speakers in line with this year’s theme of Accelerating Action: 💜Charlie from Women’s Street Watch Newcastle, a dedicated volunteering group, with the mission of working to ensure the safety and well-being of women in the night-time economy by patrolling the streets and providing safety and support where needed. 💜Kathryn from Smart Works Newcastle charity, who empower and help women in the North East get back into the workplace. 💜Katherine Richards from our Legal team, who participates in the ultramarathon “Marathon Des Sables”, to highlight the importance of breaking mental barriers and doing anything that you put your mind too. We would like to say a massive well done to all involved, and to our Inclusion Network, for organising the event, along with a tasty desk drop!

#NationalCareersWeek As part of our Learning & Development curriculum, we’ve recently partnered with training provider TMS Development International Ltd (TMSDI) to help our teams identify personal preferences and core strengths to position themselves for success in the workplace. Last week, our Customer Services team participated in a TMSDI session, utilising the framework to not only understand how they can achieve individual success, but to combine the results to give deeper insight into the spread of preferences across the team and help achieve stronger team work. It’s great to see our teams engaging in this collaborative approach to enhance their careers. #NCW2025

Yesterday, we celebrated International Women’s Day with Smart Works Newcastle, attending their ‘Inspiring Women of the North East’ event. It was a pleasure to be invited and to continue to support the work that the charity does to help women in the North East back into the workplace, along with panel of inspiring NE female business leaders, each offering advice on how to be successful in the workplace and talking about other women who have inspired them over the years. #SWNInspire
