EIC tenants were treated to the annual Christmas party on Thursday 6th December.
It was a record breaking year for attendees, with over two hundred guests enjoying a buffet and range of games with prizes for the winners.
There was a ‘Pin the Nose on Rudolf’ competition, a Christmas jumper competition and also a virtual reality game kindly provided by VR Simulation.
There was also the raffle, which this year raised an incredible £304 which will be donated to local charities Stay, Newlife Telford and Age UK Telford.
A big thank you to all those that attended and to the catering team who provided an excellent buffet. Merry Christmas!
Dr Gavin Jordan, a Lead Auditor at Interface NRM, recently spent four weeks on a mountain climbing expedition to the world’s highest mountain range – the Himalayas. Whilst on this daring adventure he scaled the challenging peak of Ama Dablam.
He said of the challenge: “The mountain appears steep from all sides and appears pretty impenetrable. Luckily this is not the case, and there is a ridgeline that leads to the upper face providing a reasonably straightforward route – although still involving a rock pitch of Hard Very Severe and some quite steep mixed/ice climbing, sometimes involving short sections of vertical ice.”
Well done to Gavin – just another example of the kind of people we have working at the e-Innovation Centre!
Interface are a UKAS and and ASI Accredited Certification Body.
This Christmas, the e-innovation Centre will again be collecting for the annual Christmas appeal.
Donations made at EIC will be given to Telford foodbank, who provide provide support for families and single people struggling to buy food and other essentials.
