Training for future generations of building professionals
The Durapipe UK team is back from London after hosting a roundtable debate on behalf of the plastic pipework manufacturer.

Putting the fun into fundraising
Friday night was party night (all in aid of a good cause of course!) when the Mere PR team supported one of its longest-standing clients by taking a table at the famous Manchester ball which was held at the Hilton Hotel. All money raised was donated to The Together Trust, a really worthy cause supporting young people across Greater Manchester and the North of England. www.togethertrust.org.uk. Friday 13th was lucky for some – we won a giant teddy bear in the raffle.
