Pick 'n' Mix: Impactful Networking

32 people from 26 different businesses attended the litter pick, including Atkinson Moss, CIM Signs & Graphics and the Big C. We are proud to have been headline sponsors of the first Pick ‘n’ Mix and have two representatives from Anglian also take part.

Participants arrived in Drayton, where they were divided into teams of threes and fours. They spent the morning litter picking around the Norfolk town along designated routes, whilst getting to know their team members and creating new connections.

After the litter pick, attendees enjoyed a well-deserved lunch at the Red Lion pub. The atmosphere was buzzing with conversation and excitement as people mingled and shared their experience from the morning’s activities.

An impressive total of 79kg of litter was collected by the team. This will all be sorted through so suitable materials can be recycled and any glass will be taken to a bottle recycling facility to raise money for Thorpe Marriott Village Hall.

Stacy Bradley, the event organiser, spoke passionately about the importance of her new event and the positive impact it has on the community. “The Pick ‘n’ Mix event is about brining people together to make a difference in their local community,” she said. “By combining networking with litter picking, we’re able to create a unique event not only benefits the environment but also helps build relationships between a variety of businesses.”
