Roll up, roll up for staff appreciation by Spalding firm Steadfast Training

A Spalding firm celebrated ten years of success by treating staff to a circus workshop.

Steadfast Training’s annual company day saw the team tackle skills ranging from juggling to walking the tightrope.
Circus Sensible provided the fun in a big top at Whaplode Drove.

Steadfast managing director Jason Parnell said: “It’s important to celebrate the company and team’s achievements and organising a fun event that the whole team can take part in is really special.”

He added: “Many of our team work remotely and are based all over the east of England and the Midlands so having everyone together at these types of events helps to build stronger relationships.”

Steadfast Training Ltd was established locally in 2005 and has grown significantly over the last ten years to become the 350th largest contractor to the Skills Funding Agency employing over 40 employees with a multi-million pound turnover.

Mr Parnell said: “It’s been an interesting journey and  I am immensely proud of the team’s achievements in developing the company to where it is today.
