Entering the Happiest Healthiest Workplace category in the Glasgow Business Awards started a few months back and involved a lot of hard work and effort from Susan and Ewen filling in the entry forms and writing up a proposal about why Bellcom Worldwide would be well suited to win this award. It was a great honour to be nominated but winning it outright has given everyone in the company an extra lift, especially Alan who managed to get his photo published in today’s Evening Times.

A strong group of Bellcomers were proudly representing the organisation and in doing so, were enjoying a fine three course meal with fine champagne- a far cry from the pizza and pints of Carling on offer last Friday night at the Bellcom Worldwide charity race night.

Our race night was brilliantly organised by Charlene and saw a huge turnout at PJ Champs over in the west end. With several members of staff buying a horse for each race and bets being made on the night, there was a lot of excitement in the air during the eight or so races that took place.

Overall, a brilliant sum of £650 was raised for Yorkhill Children’s Foundation and fun was had by everyone in attendance, especially those fortunate enough to win a prize or a high stake on the horses. Our first work night out together since August had us all reminiscing (some cringing) come Monday morning and already a quiz night is in the making for the end of October, a night which will hopefully provide us with plenty of material and photos for another blog entry, so watch this space!

As our last work night out took place way back in July, our very own Miss Ferris has kindly decided to organise this bash which will be held at PJ Champs in Glasgow’s West End and will be in aid of our chosen charity, the Yorkhill Children’s Foundation.  It promises to be a classier event than our last effort in a Charing X bar and our organiser-in-chief has even been able to charm her way into securing some great prizes such as:

• Luxury hotel stays
• Meals in top restaurants
• Beauty treatments
• Drinks vouchers

While no one will be forced to flutter, it’s encouraged that everyone makes the effort to come out and enjoy themselves. Horses will be on sale for £5 from reception so pick your punt and get involved. You won’t win it if you’re not in it!

Richard has designed a wonderful poster which smart, snappy, and fit for the occasion. We hope you (and friends) can all make it, keep your eyes peeled for the blog entry after the event (fear not, no scandal will be revealed!).
