It’s starting to feel like Autumn!
Colder, shorter days might be a great excuse for cosying up with a hot chocolate, but it’s also a time to reassess health & safety and PPE needs on-site in preparation for the cold!

A massive thank you to all the businesses who attended or kindly donated raffle prizes for our 2019 Football Tournament. We managed to score a rather impressive £4,000 for local good causes! We won't mention that #TeamWalker took home the trophy 🤫🏆
