Rick’s marathon
Congratulations to Rick Sherman, Partner at SMH Howard Matthews, who recently completed the Leeds marathon, only a few weeks after completing the London marathon! To make this challenge even more impressive, Rick ran the Leeds marathon in a variety of fancy dress costumes including Harrogate Town AFC’s very own mascot, Harry Gator!
This challenge was inspired by Rick’s children and supported by their school, Brodetsky Primary School, where Rick was once a pupil himself! Please show your support by donating here: www.goodhub.com/go/shermanrun

Mental Health Awareness Week
We’re proud to have supported Mental Health Awareness Week across SMH Group last week.
From cakes to friendly games of Connect 4, it’s been great to take time out together to raise awareness of mental health and the importance of looking after ourselves and each other, both in and out of the workplace.
A big thank you to everyone who got involved, brought in sweet treats, and helped create a positive, supportive atmosphere across all our offices.
