These boots were made for walking
During May, some members of staff participated in a month-long team step challenge in order to encourage healthy habits, as part of our Healthy Working Lives activity. Thankfully, the weather behaved and they collectively managed to complete OVER 15 MILLION STEPS – the equivalent of 7,000 miles or from our Dunfermline office to Chile in South America!

Each team had to come up with a walking themed song as their team name. The winners were “TC’s boots are made for walking” comprising of (below left to right) – Jacqueline Whyte, Katrina Jamie, Aman Hanif, Mark Gibson, Stuart Rankine and Sophie Wilkinson.
Well done to the winners who each received an Amazon voucher, and to everyone who took part for a tremendous effort.
A special big shout-out to Stuart Rankine who averaged 17,116 steps per day!
