One challenge. Five colleagues. One incredible cause! This weekend, the Findel Five took on the Fairfield Horseshoe, one of the Lake District's most iconic and demanding ridge walks. After around six hours on the fells, Paul Clarke , Mike Box, Robert Goulding, Aidan Moseley and Dave Taylor successfully completed the challenge, raising £580 (and counting) for Place2Be, our charity partner supporting children's mental health. Through the Findel Foundation's match funding commitment, every pound raised will be doubled, helping to make an even greater difference to children, young people, families and schools. We're incredibly proud of the team for their commitment, determination and willingness to go the extra mile for such an important cause. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported them so far.

This weekend, our 'Findel Four' are taking on the Fairfield Horseshoe! Paul Clarke, Mike Box, Robert Goulding and Aidan Moseley will be lacing up their boots to tackle one of the Lake District's most iconic mountain challenges, all in support of our charity partner, Place2Be. The Fairfield Horseshoe is a classic Lakeland loop starting and finishing in Ambleside. It's around 17km of high-level ridge walking, taking in eight Wainwright summits including Fairfield itself. It's a big undertaking, and we couldn't be prouder of the team for stepping up to do it. Place2Be are a leading charity providing vital mental health support to children, young people and their families in schools across the UK. If you'd like to help the team raise some vital funds for this brilliant cause, every donation makes a difference: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCcUzMSy Good luck to the fabulous 'Findel Four' we'll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🙌 #Findel #Place2Be #FairfieldHorseshoe #CharityChallenge #LakeDistrict #MentalHealthMatters #FindelFamily #Manutan #ManutanGroup Manutan Group

Through the combined efforts of Findel & Manutan Group (MSF) Manutan Social Fund, we’re delighted to have helped deliver these essential packs, ensuring dignity, wellbeing, and access for those who need it most. A fantastic example of what can be achieved through collaboration, shared purpose, and a commitment to making a real difference. #SocialValue #Collaboration #CommunityImpact #Wellbeing #ManutanGroup #EducationAuthority #FindelFamily #MadeForEducation Education Authority (Northern Ireland)
EA Commercial Procurement Services are delighted, as a critical element of their Social Value Initiative, to take delivery of 350 sets of period product packs to help support children and young people at home. To meet our statutory obligation to deliver free period products in EA buildings, CPS went to tender for the provision. When designing the tender and discussing social value delivery with the panel and project working group, a potential gap was identified that would have seen some children and young people not supported. The panel and working group agreed to include a Social Value Initiative that specified provision of “at home packs” as an example of an initiative that could be delivered, supporting the wellbeing of children and young people in their homes.

We're proud to fund work experience placements like this for Rory as part of our ongoing partnership with the Rio Ferdinand Foundation. In a challenging job market out there for young people, it's important for us to champion opportunities like this that help bridge the gap, and help young people gain relevant experiences in the world of work. #CreatingOpportunities #RFF #Findel #FindelFamily #WorkExperience #Careers #Manutan
Last month, Rory joined us on work experience, spending a week with our Manchester team to get a behind-the-scenes look at what we do. To round off the week, we set him the challenge of planning, filming and editing his own reel from start to finish... and this is the result! A huge well done to Rory for his enthusiasm, creativity and hard work throughout the week. It was great to have you as part of the team. Thanks to our funders Findel for continuing to support opportunities like this, helping more young people build skills, grow in confidence and explore their future career pathways. #PoweringPotential

Are schools ready to deliver technical education from age 14? The government is developing new pathways that could allow pupils to study technical subjects alongside English, mathematics and science. The aim is to create a stronger connection between education, practical experience and future employment. But successful delivery could require much more than introducing a new qualification. Schools may need: 🔹 Suitable practical learning spaces 🔹 Strong STEM, science and D&T provision 🔹 Specialist knowledge and staff confidence 🔹 Partnerships with colleges and employers 🔹 Clear information about funding and expectations September 2028 is currently an ambition - not a confirmed implementation deadline. Schools need more detail before making major curriculum or investment decisions. Our latest article explores what has been announced, what remains uncertain and how schools can begin reviewing their existing provision. The link to the full article is in the comments. What would your school need to make technical education from age 14 work effectively? #TechnicalEducation #SchoolLeadership #STEMEducation #EducationPolicy

Celebrating 60 years of Manutan! Yesterday, we marked a truly special milestone with a day of celebrations across our Hyde and Nottingham sites to commemorate Manutan's 60th anniversary. From French-inspired fancy dress and plenty of tricolour creativity to delicious French food, the day was packed with activities designed to bring colleagues together and celebrate this remarkable achievement. Highlights included: 🎨 A hugely popular Mini Monet workshop, which uncovered some incredible hidden artistic talents 🎾 Our very own Quantum Garros tennis challenge 🗼 An Eiffel Tower building challenge that brought out everyone's competitive spirit 🥐 Fantastic French-themed food and refreshments 👕 Some wonderfully creative costumes, from classic stripes to imaginative interpretations of all things French Most importantly, it was a day filled with laughter, connection and team spirit. Seeing colleagues come together, build relationships and create lasting memories was a wonderful reminder of what makes our organisation so special. We are incredibly proud to be part of the Manutan Group and its rich 60-year history. Here's to celebrating this milestone and looking ahead with excitement to the next 60+ years as part of an inspiring European leader. 📸 This is just a sneak peek of the celebrations!

We're delighted to hear that a group of Year 6 girls from Moston Lane Primary School - one of the breakfast club schools we support through the Findel Foundation, has successfully completed a six-week programme delivered by the Rio Ferdinand Foundation. The programme focused on building confidence, understanding emotions and developing healthy relationships; skills that are particularly important as children prepare for the transition from primary to secondary school. For many young people, this transition can feel exciting but also daunting. That's why we're so pleased to have helped bring together two organisations that share a commitment to supporting children and young people, creating an opportunity for these girls to build confidence, resilience and self-belief ahead of this important next chapter. A huge thank you to the team at RFF and everyone involved in making this initiative possible. Together, we're helping to create opportunities that enable young people to thrive, both in and beyond the classroom. #FindelFoundation #RioFerdinandFoundation #Education #SocialImpact #CommunityPartnerships #ConfidenceBuilding #YoungPeople #MakingADifference #Manutan #ManutanGroup #CSR

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) Awards at the Honourable Artillery Company in London. Findel were shortlisted across three categories which in itself is a real victory, but we were absolutely delighted to bring home the Team of the Year award for our CX team! 🥳 The judges commented: “a textbook example of a large team operating with consistency, care and shared purpose. What’s particularly striking is how clearly the culture translates into measurable outcomes: outstanding SLAs, customer advocacy and long-term staff retention. The team doesn’t just deliver great service; it actively shapes organisational culture through initiatives like Customer Connections Count. The testimonials felt heartfelt rather than transactional. A fantastic team!” We couldn’t be prouder of what this team has achieved, this recognition is very well deserved. Huge congratulations to all the nominees and winners. It was fantastic to see how much the event has grown over the last 12 months and to be part of such a strong celebration of our industry. #BESA #BesaAwards #BESAAwards26 #Education #EdTech #EducationSuppliers #Findel #FindelFamily #Manutan #ManutanGroup #CX #CustomerExperience #TeamOfTheYear #Awards Chris Mahady | Zoe Reuter | Claire Gleave
