Edge Careers’ Great Weight Loss Challenge

Stuart Smith, Principal Civil Engineering Consultant (left) and Matt Green, Freelance Director (right) have been challenged to drop the pounds.

Weight Loss Challenge

With both men actively trying to lose weight, Edge Careers thought we would give them a little incentive and so has set them the challenge of losing 3 stone in just 20 weeks.

If they succeed by the 9th February 2017, Edge Careers will buy them both a new fitted suit to go with their slim new look.

So gentlemen it is time to cue the rocky montage video.

Can they do it? Stay tuned for updates on the guys progress.

Charity Dinner Raises £3,000

Charity Evening

Edge Careers along with the group businesses for brum have made a donation to the great charity Alex’s Wish. Stuart Smith, one of our principal recruitment consultants, was humbled to be invited as guest of Morgan Sindall for a charity dinner to raise money for the great cause. Alex’s Wish was created to fund the battle against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a severe and progressive muscle wasting disease. Alex is 10 years old and if the disease follows its classic course it will leave him in a wheelchair by age 12 and paralysed by his teens and not live beyond his twenties. At this moment in time there is no cure, this is why Alex’s Wish was created. Their mission is to raise £1m by 2020 to get into the hands of the world’s leading scientists who have the best chance of finding a cure.

The evening managed to raise £3,000 for the charity and was supported by guest speaker and England Rugby world cup winner, Neil Back.

Morgan Sindall’s attendance at the charity dinner was only a small part of their ongoing support of Alex’s Wish, with members of the company completing a charity bike ride form London to Paris, which raised over £22,000.

Edge Careers have donated to Alex’s Wish and you can too, head to Alex’s Wish page to donate to such a great cause.

Edge Careers’ very own Stuart Smith completed ‘Theo’s Comedy Skool’  and performed his comedy routine at the Artrix in Bromsgrove. Coming out in the second half of the show, Stu brought the crowd to tears with laughter, performing a range of jokes and managed to get through his FIRST EVER comedy performance unscathed.

I think it is safe to say that he loved every second of it and looks forward to his next performance.
