First things first - an XFactor whinge. Did anyone see last night's travesty?


We are pleased to report that we have seen a significant shift in optimism and confidence in the market place in general and in recent weeks we have been busier than ever. Jo has also been on an NLP for Business course and we are using these NLP techniques back at Hatty Towers to really give our candidates the edge when they are pursuing their dream job. So welcome to this long overdue bumper edition of our blog!





Shiv and I are proud to be donning our trainers and walking boots again for a double whammy of athletic challenges! We are both running the first ever Virgin London Marathon in April 2010 in aid of St Lukes Kenton Grange Hospice! Training has started already and we have our first 10k race this weekend to get us started. What do you thnk of the dragon outfit?


A month after the Marathon we are looking forward to taking part in their annual Sponsored walk! St Lukes is committed to the provision of specialst palliative care - free of charge to people with advanced, progressive illnesses which addresses their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs thus enhancing their quality of life. Between Saturday 29th May and Friday 4th June 2010 we shall be trekking across Scotland!


The Great Glen runs for 73 miles coast to coast across Scotland and takes in Loch Ness and at times is on an "island" with the canal on one side and River Lochy on the other so it is going to be beautiful!


The annual operating costs are currently estimated at £3.5million and they receive less than 30% of financial support from local health authorities so rely on volunatary contributions and event such as the annual sponsored walk to make up the major source of their funding.


If anyone is interested in joining our merry band and walking with us we would be thrilled to hear from you. Its definitely one of the best things we have ever done! Check out the website www.stlukes-hospice.org/walkerswebsite/greatglenway.htm
