Charity Work

For Mike, the volunteer days Community Fibre coordinates are a cause worth celebrating.

“Everybody within the company gets an opportunity to spend a couple of days a year volunteering for a cause that is close to them,” explains Mike. “That's been very popular with a lot of our employees recently. We cover a range of causes so people can volunteer flexibly.”

Fundraising

Community Fibre has raised more than £7,000 with the Lisa Howie Trophy, a yearly 5-a-side football tournament in memory of Lisa Howie.

Colleagues, landlords and contractors come together to field teams and raise money for causes in the communities served by Community Fibre.

Worth A Listen

Mike recommends the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply podcast.

“They cover a huge range of topics that are very interesting for a lot of people within the UK supply chain, not just within alt-nets. They talk to a lot of logistics companies and retail companies and FMCGs (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies. It's a fascinating set of topics that they cover.”
