The Phoenix rises to the challenge.....


We've all been getting a little bit energetic at The Phoenix Partners in Sileby lately.. We're hoping that 'purple power' in the form of purple wigs, will help us not only stand out in the crowds, but unite us in our first team running event at the Derbyshire Building Society 10k Business Team Challenge on 3rd April.

We didn't quite know how enthusiatic our new marcomms colleague Jenni Manning-Ohren was for 'eventing,' but within hours on her first day she had already persuaded us to don our trainers and try out some 'go-faster' purple wigs in our corporate colours.

Rachel Hargrave will be team captain and obviously this all helps her training for her big Kilimanjaro trip in September... another story!

Meanwhile, the rest of the team will be Jenni, Matt Stokes, Nikki Stokes and David Manning-Ohren.

So on 3 April, Mothers' Day, we'll be heading over to Pride Park Stadium in Derby to take part in what should be a fun filled day!

It's not that we'll be breaking any race records, but as an agency we’re very competitive so you never know.

We've been training in our lunch hours and getting a few funny looks from the locals when trying out our wigs - as you can imagine!

So do give us a wave if you see us along the course and on the final finishing stretch with our curly locks flowing behind us....
