Happy 10 Year Anniversary to Stroud Resourcing!

Here at Stroud Resourcing we are proud to be celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary! This event coincided with our end of quarter celebration, whereby the team huddled in the boardroom to review our financial performance from the last quarter, phone figures. We were happy to announce that Jessica is our new internal recruitment ambassador!

Finally, the team wanted to thank our managing director, Joanna for all of her hard work and commitment to both the business and employees. Joanna is Wonder Woman in our eyes, she spins plates like no other, is always mindful of the company's progress and the needs of our people. She has spent months writing the content for our new website and working with web development team. We all applauded Joanna and presented her with a special bouquet of lilies.

Straight after the presentation, the SMT launched a secret activity - a Stroud's Sports Day complete with an elaborate picnic! We set up a gazebo, chairs and table for the picnic. Then created a track for the sports day to take place, we also created start and finish flags, and placed all of the equipment aside to be ready for other colleagues to arrive. The biggest surprise for the team on arrival was our mascot, Richmond a 10ft GIANT teddy bear, who the losing team would have to take care of for the remainder of the day/night! Upon arrival we had music playing whilst the team dug in to a selection of sweet and savoury snacks, as well as a glass of champagne. 
 

The games began at 13:30 - the team was divided into the red and blue team. The 5 activities included: egg and spoon race, sack race, balloon stomp, bear race and relay. The red team were off to a flying start with nearly 20 points ahead of the blues, however the blues put up quite a fight towards the end and the scores were very close. In the end, the winning team was....... the BLUE team! The practicality of carrying the teddy bear wasn't possible, so the red team got away without carrying the bear around York, it was taken back to Joanna's house! 

Stroud had a great day, and it built strong bonds within the teams and we were ready to continue celebrating into the night! After muchly needed showers, the team met up at All Bar One in York for an evening buffet and drinks! We also celebrated the company’s birthday with cake! Celebrations continued on until early hours of the next morning! What a brilliant way to end our quarter!
