As the calendar flips to a new page and we welcome another year, we take a deliberate pause to engage in a tradition that has become a keystone event for us – our annual stand down day.
We gathered our teams from across the UK and focused on our achievements, as well as how we can build on them to reach new milestones. We also had the opportunity to meet our partner at Great Ormond Street Hospital  who has been working with us in our corporate charity partnership. It was privilege to hear about the valuable work they do, and how our contributions have made a difference in the lives of children and their families. At EAST, we believe that our staff are our most valuable asset.
So, taking time out to meet, reflect and plan for the future is essential to making sure that we continue to deliver the highest quality service to our clients.
 As we enter our 15th year of trading, we are excited about the future, and we're proud of what we have achieved so far. Thanks to everyone who made our stand down day a success, and we look forward to another fantastic year ahead.
