Movember Madness
Posted by Gareth Lowe - 09 December 2022Last month this 'Merry Bunch' all showed their humility and got on board with my request to ‘Grow a Mo’! - Movember has been a men’s charity movement since 2003, encouraging blokes to look daft and engage in talks about Men’s health.
Mental health awareness is incredibly relevant in the modern world and we here at Nigel Tyas Ironwork are trying to ensure the team are all able to talk to each other and work together in a comfortable environment in support of this.
Our current team is split about 80/20 Male to Female and whilst we encourage diversity in the workplace, as is often the case with small manufacturing businesses, men make up the bulk of the workforce (bulk – pun intended).
The moustache’d men of metal all had good fun trying to curate their own facial fuzz and I’m so proud they all stuck with it until the end of the month. We’ve collected and contributed to a couple of men’s charities in support of their efforts and I hope this silly act also encourages others to do the same in the future and give a little time, effort and cash in support of great charitable causes.
