As with all businesses, the business climate has thrown up a few interesting challenges this year, but there’s still plenty to celebrate at GHM and as always it’s our people, customers and colleagues that have continued to inspire, motivate and laugh with us.
Here are just some of the highlights of the last 12 months at GHM:
Eventtastic
Face-to-face is finally back in fashion and we’ve loved catching up with faces, old and new, at the various events we’ve attended and exhibited this year including the local B2B expos, networking groups and customer events.
Helen & Douglas House Fundraising
In 2023, GHM enjoyed another year of fundraising for our amazing chosen charity Helen & Douglas House. Special mention goes to our 5-a-side Football tournament in September which brought so many of our customers, partners and friends together to raise a whopping £5,000!
