When there’s a fitness-focused event taking place, you can be sure that some of our colleagues will be involved. On Sunday 8 th September it was the Great North Run, which saw three SGS team members slip on their trainers and pop up to the North East to complete the largest half marathon in the world, which begins in Newcastle and ends in South Shields.

Kate McLellan joined our Tamworth office in June this year as a Corporate Recruiter: “My favourite thing about SGS is everyone I have met so far and had the pleasure of working with.
