The Big Row 2018



Last Friday, 5 Astutians braved the stormy sea’s (well, a marquee in Bournemouth Square anyway!) to row 10,000m for The Dorset Blind Association. The team completed the challenge in 45 minutes 10 seconds and alongside the funds collected from a companywide mufti day, generated £350 for the charity. A fantastic effort from all those who took part – well done and thank you!! Nikita Reed Donald HungSimone Ippolito Chloé Piper Lewis Edgar

Happy Hour Incentive



Every Friday Astute runs a mufti day to raise money for various charities. All of our staff can nominate any charitable cause close to their hearts.

Recent Friday, not only did our lead generation team take part in mufti, but we also ran a Happy Hour incentive. Who’d have thought caffeine, chocolates and liquor could be such a motivator!!
