Our MD Nigel Hall has decided to show his considerate side! I know that this is unheard of but he is raising money for Queensferry Church Care in the Community and Children’s Hospice Association, Scotland by wait for it....... Yes abseiling off of the Forth Road Bridge. If you’d like to support Nigel in his “Long walk off of a short pier” click on the following link. (The highest sponsor also gets the opportunity to tie the rope at the top!!!!!!!!). Seriously good luck Nigel and we hope you raise loads of money for this worthwhile cause!
