Experimentation Elite 2022

In December 2022, we were fortunate enough to be the headline sponsor for Experimentation Elite. This was a really great event, providing us the opportunity to network with like-minded people who share a passion for CRO and experimentation.

We also got to listen and enjoy talks from some of the best in the business, including our very own Sandeep Shah! It was a really great experience and a great way to share knowledge and build on what we already know. When working in the CRO and experimentation industry, you can become too focused on your own ideas and the tests you are running. Attending an event such as this exposes you to different viewpoints and forces you to think about things in a different way. This is one of the most useful things we can do as it allows us to continually provide better results for our clients.

We are looking forward to attending more events in 2023 and continue building our network, expanding our partnerships, and taking on new clients!

Crohn’s and Colitis Week

1st December 2022

Crohn’s and Colitis Week

Every year from the 1st – 7th December is Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week. This is a charity that is particularly close to our hearts, as a colleague of ours suffers from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD is referred to as an invisible disability, as often there are not any noticeable symptoms. Therefore, our focus was on how we as employers can better understand the condition and support members of our team going through this (or something similar), by making our workplace more inclusive for all.

We focused on the key facts for employers to know, such as the different types of IBD, the symptoms of these and how someone may be affected, how you can help your employees, managing time off work and ensuring a safe and open environment is created.

We signed up the Crohn’s and Colitis pledge to ensure we are being as supportive as possible and are creating an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing personal experiences.

World Cup of Food in support of Cancer Research

To celebrate the start of the World Cup, we had a team social where everyone brought along a dish from the country which they drew in the office sweepstake. This gave us a great excuse to get the team together and also a brilliant opportunity to celebrate different cultures and learn more about traditional dishes from around the world.

We also asked for a donation from each participant and raised £202 for Cancer Research UK, which is one of our 3 chosen charities for this year.

The winning dish (as voted for by other participants) was the Glamorgan Sausage from Wales, with the Meatloaf, Belgian Waffles and Knafeh also being a hit!
