Wig Wednesday fun in the contact centre!
The whole mplcontact team had some hair raising fun last month on Wig Wednesday in aid of CLIC Sargent’s campaign to raise funds for children and young people with cancer. Everyone in the team paid a fee to come to work in their finest – or just oddest – wig and were rewarded with spot prizes for their efforts. The final amount raised is going to be in the hundreds of pounds and we are grateful to directors, Peter Newbold and Paul Macildowie, for pledging to double the amount the team raises.

CMS Wire reported how a tailor in the US wowed his customer by, well, by just doing his job, with a smile and an understanding of exactly what the customer needed. Read the story.
