We have just completed a year of fundraising for The Motor Neurone Disease Association. Kate explains why and how we did it.
A little over a year ago, ATG, as a company decided that we’d like to support a different charity every year by raising money for them.
If you're a support or 5nines client of ATG you will have spoken or met with Tom, probably multiple times over that last few years. He's been a part of our technical team for over 12 years!
As we change and grow as a business, we've pinpointed a need for a dedicated account manager, as Tom knows and understands all our clients the leadership team saw him as the natural candidate for the role, which he was more than happy to accept and is looking forward to the new challenge.
Last week Mark and Kate traveled to Brighton for a few days next to the sea at this years Network Group Gala.
