As most will know, we tragically lost our much-loved and respected MD Neil Redman last August. In recognition of the incredible efforts of Scotland’s Air Ambulance crew that attended his father, Charlie Redman will be running the London Marathon in April in Neil’s name and raising funds for this essential charity.

The Air Ambulance service is funded entirely through donations, fundraising and events, and we’re sure you will join us in wishing Charlie luck in his efforts to raise funds for an organisation that went above and beyond in their attempts to save his father’s life.

SEMPRIS have been delighted to make a donation towards Charlie’s target of £8,500, and if it’s something  you would like to do as well, you can visit his London Marathon page here https://2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/charlie-redman-23

Do let us know if you have any suggestions for resources, studies or events for inclusion in future bulletins.
