🌱 ESG and Celebrations

TerraQuest Quiz Night 2025

Colleagues from our Birmingham and Belfast offices came together for trivia, food and friendly competition 🏆. Congratulations to our winners: Quizzie Rascals (Birmingham) and Sinead (Belfast)!

Climbing for a Cause!

Our colleague Hannah Lester successfully completed her challenge, climbing Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167m. Over three days, she trekked, camped, and pushed herself to the limit to raise funds for Charity Right, which provides school meals to children in vulnerable communities, helping them stay nourished and in education.
