International Women’s Day 2022 – Break the Bias

To mark this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD), we’ve been collating case studies for our clients and getting great examples of women in business, engineering, manufacturing and construction out into the media. We love bringing these stories to life and capturing the skill, hard work and commitment that all our clients demonstrate in their fields. So now it’s our turn to look inwards and consider what this important day means to us. Here’s what our Deputy Managing Director, Hannah Elwell had to say about this year’s theme, breaking the bias.

USG shines a light on mental health and physical activity with new challenge for LAMP

Team USG has taken on another challenge to raise money for LAMP, Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project.

Staff have now taken on the charity’s ‘Around the World 5km Challenge’ which sees those taking part complete a total of 5km a day during Mental Health Week (10th – 16th May 2021).

At Unsworth Sugden we’ve always believed in the value of apprenticeships, in nurturing raw talent and building a loyal employee base for the future. It’s incredibly rewarding to see people change over the time of their course and develop into valuable members of the team in their own right.

Navigating Covid-19 together

It has been a challenging couple of weeks for the entire nation. Businesses and individuals are being faced with problems on a daily basis for which there is no benchmark, no rule book and most worryingly no semblance of certainty.
