Just over a week ago, our colleagues, as part of Vertas Group Limited, embarked on an adventurous climb of Ben Venue in Scotland, marking the fifth and final Exec Experience challenge. Led by Keith Buet, Chief Operating Officer at Vertas Group, the team braved unexpected stormy weather, facing near-zero visibility at times. Despite the challenging conditions, they successfully completed the climb in approximately seven hours, covering about 16km and raising over £5,800 for Cancer Research UK (CRUK). This milestone concludes Vertas Group Exec Experiences, with the initiative raising an impressive total of £18,844 and counting! A huge congratulations to everyone who participated in the challenges and thank you to all who supported this deserving cause. #ExecExperiences2024 #VertasGroup #BenVenue #Fundraising

For World Mental Health Day, we spoke with workers across the various job sectors we recruit for to learn how they look after their mental health in the workplace. Work can greatly impact mental health - providing purpose and connection but also sometimes causing stress and anxiety. This year’s theme, dedicated to workplace mental health, highlights the importance of tackling remaining stigma and creating supportive environments where everyone feels empowered to prioritise mental wellbeing. 💙 WFMH World Federation for Mental Health #WMHD2024
