Do you work at Envirocare?  Then, it may be you…

Here at envirocare we take our CRM (Customer Record Management) database very seriously.  We have invested heavily in this area.  David Yates, Director says “It is important for us to keep ahead with technology and having a system in place that monitors everything we do for our clients, no matter what it is, is key to that”

As everyone in the company uses this as a central point for all information, we all know just how important it is to keep all of our information together so that we can learn from what we do, making us better going forward as well as monitoring what everyones role in any action was on behalf of our clients.

Terri Graham, Reception and Mark Shaw, Regional Manager Yorkshire are the newest recruits onto the next ACT! training course and I hope they have a good nights sleep the night before!

Alison Capper, Administration, says “The training is only for 2 days, but boy do they pack the information in, its an intense course, I remember it well!”

Our superfit Mick has been raising more money for charity, this time completing the Manchester 100 mile bike ride, we could not be more proud of the contributions Mick makes towards charity and the challenging activities he partakes in to do this. Starting at Wythenshawe Park, the 100 mile round trip passes through Northwich, Delamere Forest, Nantwich and Middlewich, Mick completed this in under six hours. 600 other cyclists gathered on the lovely September day, along with a large number of supporters who ensured every one crossed the finish line with a smile on their face. The Christie provide treatment to patients and also research into cancer, the donations and fundraising make a vital difference to the services, facilities and equipment they can provide.
