This Nuclear Rush event saw agents and suppliers going head to head to race and complete obstacles on the 7km course in a secret bunker estate in Brentwood, Essex. Paramount diverted off to tackle the 12k course so well done to them.
The spectators were also challenged to stay on a tractor trailer shuttle ride to the key viewing area of the Lake Zone to witness their teams in action and returned shaken to continue following the teams by foot and to witness further obstacle challenges which involved them also getting muddy and wet.

This was followed with ‘Tips to Take Care of Yourself’, where a video was created by the company internally and showcased throughout the day in the company’s canteen – you can watch it here.
Mid-way through the week, SDL Group hosted an ‘I Got Out of Bed Today’ event, where their people were encouraged to come dressed in their pyjamas to highlight the challenges those with mental health issues can face on a daily basis. Those who took part donated money to Mind.
Helen Ellis, SDL Group director of people, comments: “We wanted to get as many people as possible talking about to about their mental health. Just like physical health, we all have mental health, and it is vital we look after it.
