We want to reward that one colleague who goes (literally) the extra mile this week!

The NHS recommends we walk at least 10.000 steps a day to keep our health in check, manage our weight and many other benefits. We think that’s easy, so we would like to see who will take the most steps throughout this week!

Send over the summary of your week to Raphael.Cray@carnivalukgroup.com – the winner will be revealed in next week’s Round-Up.
