Well done to Matt Townsend and Suzanne Stolberg who achieved great times in the Great Manchester Run – and raised over £600 for the Children’s Burns Foundation. Also congratulations to Tanya Simister who supported Cancer Research with her 5k run on the same day. Maybe our breakfasts are healthier than we thought!

Good luck to Matt Townsend and Suzanne Stolberg who are both taking part in the Great Manchester Run on the 16th May. They are both raising money for the Children’s Burns Foundation, a local charity which supports the rehabilitation of burn injured children and young people. It will be interesting to see who comes in first…!

Joanne Siddall is the group’s Member of the Month for May and she’s looking for busy people! Offering a wide range of secretarial and administrative support to the harassed, the unfocused and the ‘can’t be bothered’ business community, Joanne excels in organising all the clutter that seems to inexplicably grow in many “Pending” trays! Her business is named Girl Friday and she can certainly be relied upon to bring order and calmness in the desert island that our office occasionally becomes!

AT SMBA we’re known for making our visitors welcome, but on Wednesday 12th May we’re having a special meeting when we throw open the doors and invite anyone interested in joining our hugely successful networking group. You need to check that your profession or service isn’t already represented and then give Mike Donovan a call on 0845 456 5070 so we know to make more breakfasts available! If you would like to come along but can’t make that date then please call us and we’ll arrange a more convenient time.
