Congratulations to the newly wed!!!

Crombies staff would like to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to our Helen, formerly known as Helen Tolley now Helen Cotton. Her big day was on Saturday and I think we can all agree that it was a beautiful day, one that the bride and groom can be proud of and will remember for years to come.

Future Alliance Go-Karting Event

On 19th of July at the Full Throttle Raceway in Stourbridge, Crombies staff once again took to the tarmac. The event, which was very successful, was organised by the Future Alliance Networking Group. However, the format was very different to the last go-karting event, drivers from each company were mixed up and put into pairs making it a bit more competitive, but even with this unconventional arrangement one of our drivers (Alex D'angelillo) still managed to come second overall. That makes two podium finishes for Crombies in as many races so well done to us!!

2011 Iron Butt Rally, Day 10

2011 Iron Butt Rally, Day 10

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

Wednesday was the last Call-In bonus of the rally. The information available from the voicemails and Spot tracks indicates that more than 1,000 miles separates the easternmost riders from the westernmost riders, and that’s as-the-crow-flies. At 10 a.m. Pacific time, we had riders as far west as Albuquerque, New Mexico, and as far East as Biloxi, Mississippi.

• Crombies John Young was in Texas and headed for Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 1:12 pm.

                                    Please keep posted for more updates.

John's Epic Adventure !!

On Thursday 16^th June 2011 our very own John Young (Director), will be taking part in The Iron Butt Rally held in the United States. The rally consists of five checkpoints located around the perimeter of the United States, in order to be considered a finisher the riders must be present at each of these checkpoints within a two hour window.

No consideration is given for bad weather, riders can expect to ride through severe thunderstorms, hurricanes and the occasional tornado. Temperature extremes routinely run 125 degrees or more in the desert southwest, in living up to  the name "Worlds Toughest Motorcycle Competition", event organizers intentionally route the rally through such places as Death Valley or the Mojave Desert during the hottest part of the day, to extreme cold at the top of mountains like Pike's Peak in Colorado.

We will be posting updates on John's progression through his gruelling journey, so please show your support and follow his success.

New Staff Member

Crombies would like to warmly welcome our new member of staff Michael Stanley. Michael (pictured below) will be starting as an accounts junior with us on Mark Fletcher's team and will be nurtured into becoming a fully qualified accountant.

Crombies Go-Karting Team Take 2nd Place!

The odds were stacked against us but the Crombies lads came up trumps last week in the Accountants Grand Prix at The Raceway in Birmingham, there was stiff competition from Price Pearson who unfortunately beat us to first place, but given the circumstances and with a skeleton team, Dave & Charles (pictured below) gave it their all and were rewarded for their perseverance with a place on the podium (thanks to Gareth and Gemma for their expert photography.) Well Done!!
