Results
• Fundraising activities included a Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, a 38 mile cycle ride from Lincoln to Boston, a 10 kilometre swim, and a local schools design initiative
• Articles about Clugston’s 75th anniversary and the fundraising activities appeared in a wide variety of local, regional and trade media
• The commemorative book was well received

Shrewdd provided invaluable support to this major milestone in our company’s corporate history.
From generating press coverage through to organising the infrastructure for the three-day celebration they were creative and practical in equal measure.
