Team Arden have been getting into the festive spirit to raise money for charity.

Staff across the Arden Group, which includes our Software, Dies and Engraving divisions, donned their finest festive knitwear and cheesiest Christmas clobber to take part in our best Christmas outfit competition.

We also organised a raffle to help boost the coffers and raised an amazing £576 for The Christie and Cancer Research UK.

Sarah Poynter, Operations Manager at our sister company Arden Engraving, said: “It was great to see so many members of staff getting into the festive spirit, both those working from home and in the office, and it certainly brought a smile to our faces.

“We’re very proud to support The Christie and Cancer Research UK – two charities that are very close to our heart here at Arden, and we hope our donation goes some way to helping them continue the fantastic work that they do.”

The winners of our festive fancy dress competition were diemaker Chris Allen and Mark Stranding who works in our dies dispatch department.
