Calnex donated 50 care bags and a selection of fidget toys to our local SARC centre, The Meadows. These care bags consisted of: Toothbrush, Conditioner, Hair band, Toothpaste, Shower Gel, Shower puff, Comb, Shampoo, and Deodorant. The bags will be handed out to survivors who have been to the Meadows for a forensic examination for anyone who has experience trauma.
11 Calnex employees went to Aerial Edge, Glasgow for a flying Trapeze beginner class! First the group started with a little warm up before practicing on the practice bar to get a feel of trapeze. The instructors gave clear instructions when to jump off the platform, when to swing your legs round the bar to hang upside down, when to let go and then when to grab back on to descent off the bar. The group went one by one to try the trapeze and to hang upside down. “Aerial edge were great, the volunteers/coaches were really nice and got a surprising number of us to achieve the catch. Definitely felt like I was in safe hands and I’d recommend it to anyone else for sure.” – Phil Dean

In March 2023 we invited the UK team to join us at the CeeD Industry Awards where we had been shortlisted for the Skills Development Award. So, off we went – all 20 of us, and we won!! The award is great recognition of the work we have all done together to develop the Calnex team. Our Development programmes are very much built around employee feedback and delivered with employee support. From our employee led induction and mentoring programmes through to consultant supported Power Skills and Leadership Development training amongst more specific training activities tailored for individuals, we are committed and invested in the personal growth of the team and the skills we need to support our own personal development and business success.
