Movember is Over!

Many wives and girlfriends around the world are (I’m sure) breathing a sigh of relief that Movember is over!  For any of our blog readers who are unaware of the Movember activities, it is simply an annual charity event which involves men growing moustaches throughout the month of November, in order to raise funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. 

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world.  The aim of Movember is not only to raise vital costs but to have fun raising the funds and raise public awareness of the problems

Our Managing Director suggested the idea to the office and our Construction Manager and one of our Surveyors took part.  Our Surveyor (Pete) managed to sprout a fine moustache and our Construction Manager (Andy) in fact grew a full beard!  At lunchtime in the office during 1st December, Kirsty (Construction Admin) produced a towel and a cut throat razor to remove the offending items!  Pete carefully removed his moustache in a matter of minutes but the full beard was so thick, even the cut throat razor couldn’t cope!  Both men are now clean shaven, looking young and fresh faced again (well, fresh faced anyway!).

Overall we raised over £100 during the event!  Isn’t it amazing how people will donate money to see two grown men shaving in public!  Either way it’s an excellent cause so a big well done to everyone involved (especially Kirsty who spent ages trying to get rid of that beard!)
