Two incredible days at the SHINE Festival! 💜

What an inspiring two days David and Katie have had at SETU for The Shona Project’s SHINE Festival, representing Vicky's Legacy and Vicky's Tribe on behalf of Eastgate Engineering.

It was a fantastic opportunity to share the story of the late Vicky Phelan with so many young girls, highlighting her incredible courage, determination and the lasting impact of her activism.

Through Vicky’s Legacy, a cancer awareness platform run by Eastgate Engineering, we are committed to keeping Vicky’s story alive, raising awareness of cervical cancer and inspiring the next generation to find their voice and stand up for what they believe in.

The SHINE Festival is such a special event, bringing young women together to celebrate confidence, empowerment and the importance of supporting one another.

A huge thank you to The Shona Project for creating such a wonderful event and giving us the opportunity to continue sharing Vicky’s powerful message. 💜

Two days filled with inspiration, meaningful conversations and a reminder of just how important Vicky’s legacy continues to be.

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐅𝐂 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🍻

We’re swapping the usual networking drinks for steins this week as Oktoberfest takes over the Riverside Stadium, all in support of the MFC Foundation.

And we’re delighted to say the event is now completely SOLD OUT! 🎉

The MFC Foundation does fantastic work across Teesside, using the power of football to support local people and communities through education, employment, health and wellbeing, and social inclusion programmes.

A huge thank you to everyone who has booked a table and helped us get behind such an important local cause. We’re looking forward to a packed Riverside, plenty of Bavarian food and drink, an Oompah band, a few familiar football faces and, most importantly, raising as much as we can for the Foundation.

A special thanks to Southern Asset Management for teaming up with us to make the evening happen.

See you at the Riverside, steins at the ready! 🍺🇩🇪

Earlier this month we welcomed delegates from across our network to Wynyard Golf Club for the Eastgate Engineering and Laker Vent Engineering Limited Golf Day. A fantastic day of golf, food, and friendly competition, all in support of two charities very close to our hearts.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who took part, we raised an incredible £𝟭,𝟭𝟱𝟬 on the day, and we were delighted to have presented cheques for £575 each to Teesside Hospice and Zoe's Place Baby Hospice Middlesbrough yesterday. 💸

Teesside Hospice supports around 3,000 people across the Tees Valley affected by terminal illness, helping them make the most of every day. Zoe's Place has spent over 30 years caring for babies and children with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions, giving families a place to turn when they need it most. Both rely on the generosity of businesses and individuals like you to keep doing this vital work.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on the day, to Wynyard Golf Club for hosting us, and to our partners at Lakers for helping make it such a success.

Here's to next year's golf day already being one to look forward to! 💙
