Driving Through The Rain.

Friday 21st September was Wallace Hind’s 16th Annual Golf Day, held at the lovely Thorney Lakes Golf Club in Peterborough.

 

It normally never rains in Thorney for the Golf day, however, it certainly did! In fact, it poured. Waterproofs went on and umbrellas went up. The drops falling out of the sky showed no sign of easing, but we all soldiered on nonetheless, in true British style.

 

The perseverance of our clients and staff made us very proud indeed: socks were dampened but spirits were not. The effort was not without fruition either - we managed to raise over £600 for the Mouth Cancer Foundation.

 

The bad weather did not seem to affect the golf. RR Donnelly did a trophy sweep, taking the title of Team Winners as well as both first and second place for the Individual Winners. Richard Adams flew the flag for Wallace Hind, whilst Julie White of Wyboston Lakes scored one for the ladies, by claiming the award for Longest Drive.

 

The new Yellow Ball competition brought much entertainment. Each team was given a yellow ball to hit round all 18 holes, but only four made it back to the club house. The winning ball came to glory with 36 Stableford Points.

 

As the day’s golfing came to an end, everyone made their way back to the club house to warm up and have a much deserved drink or two. A plate of steaming hot bangers and mash was served as the perfect reward for everyone’s perseverance and stories of the day’s events were soon being regaled.

 

It comes as no surprise however, that we are considering moving next year’s Golf Day to the summer months. Keep your eyes and ears open for the announcement for next year’s date!

On Wednesday 21st March, staff at Wallace Hind Selection LLP arranged and competed in a Mini Olympics Event to raise money for Sport Relief.

Wallace Hind usually buy their staff lunch on a Wednesday, however, this week there were some hungry tums as the staff took part in a mini Olympics and the money was instead donated to Sports Relief.

Events included Wrong Handed Putting, Skittles, Fishing, Skipping and Keepie Uppie; raising £100 for the worthy cause. There was a tie in the golf challenge which was very competitive as there are many golfers in the office! A game of twister was used to decide the winner!

Sport Relief is a great charity that brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. The money raised is spent by Comic Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries. It goes a long way too. From transforming the lives of people in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities, or those living with poor mental or physical health, to protecting street children and providing life-saving healthcare abroad.

Wallace Hind would also like to take the opportunity and are delighted to welcome Philip Monkman to our team – Philip Monkman is an experienced recruiter of 11 years and has worked for some of the UK’s most recognised contingency recruitment organisations. With a background in finding the very best senior talent for some of the UK and Europe’s Leading brands, he was keen to find a business that genuinely differentiates its service levels from the rest of the market place. With experience of managing both single and multiple recruitment campaigns he was blown away by the in-depth professionalism, market information, transparent communication and genuine consultation that the Wallace Hind process encourages throughout a project.
