It’s been a busy fortnight for Nicki. The North West Roadshow wrapped up at the end of July, so thank you to all who jumped on and updated their details, and welcome to the 30 new members! Nicki hopes to see you in your workplaces over the coming months.

Keep your eyes peeled to see if you were one of the winners of the hampers, vouchers and the “guess how many lollies in the jar”! Nicki will be calling the winners shortly!
