Did you know that adults are advised to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity weekly to boost brain health and overall wellbeing? Recognising this, our finance department has been championing walk-at-work schemes from our head office in Addlestone. The finance and controlling team organised a fantastic five-mile charity walk around beautiful local landmarks. Meanwhile, the procurement and commercial team seamlessly blended business with pleasure by incorporating a leisurely stroll around Virginia Water, Surrey, into their quarterly meeting, not only boosting their physical activity but also fostering greater team engagement. Both teams chose to fundraise for The Eikon Charity, an organisation dedicated to supporting young people in Surrey through mentoring, guidance and resources, ensuring they have the support they need for a fulfilling life.  A huge thank you to everyone involved for making these events such a success. Together, we're promoting a healthier lifestyle and making a positive impact on our community. #EmployeeWellbeing #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CharityWalk #TeamEngagement #PhysicalActivity #TheEikonCharity 

Did you know we’re a Platinum sponsor of this year’s #CTBUH conference? Along with our device charging station in the exhibition space, we’re delivering workshops on the role of vertical transportation systems in fire evacuation, and discussing the urban revolution and the importance of Schindler MetaCore. We’re also delivering two presentations around this year’s CTBUH theme: New or Renew? And as we’re passionate about sustainability and finding new uses for existing buildings, on Tuesday evening we continued the conversation with over 300 global customers at the Schindler networking event in London’s Sky Garden. We’d like to extend a special thanks to the Global Large Projects team for organising our attendance and to our local volunteers for supporting at the event: Aaron Campbell, Alex Busst, Benito Bragoli, Dylan Bailey, Faye Emery, Jack Lovett, Joshua Connolly, Noah Fellows, Olivia Crichton, Orion Edwards, Raj Maisuria, Ross Ferguson, Sebastien Gare. #CTBUH2024 #Schindler #NeworRenew #largeprojects #modernisation

Inspire inclusion, the 2024 International Women’s Day theme, emphasises the importance of diversity and empowerment. This got us thinking about those women at Schindler UK and Ireland who’ve progressed their career and the people who champion them. Izzy Beresford joined us as maternity cover - seven years and three promotions later and Izzy is now our Administration Manager, overseeing the existing installation admin teams along with our national customer call centre. So, what made Izzy choose to stay at Schindler? Quite simply, she felt our values – focussing on safety and people - aligned with her own, that she could see a clear path for career progression, and she loved the people she worked with. But that wasn’t all. Izzy was championed by both her line and senior manager who empowered her, trusting her experience and judgement and giving her autonomy to make the admin and call centre fit for purpose, putting the customer at the centre of the organisation. Izzy calls the admin and call centre teams the heart of the company and works to empower and grow her team in the same way that she was championed when she first joined Schindler. #Schindler #people #internationalwomensday2024 #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #TeamSchindler
