Friday Footnote # 123

Each week we share loads of content amongst Team ION and with our network. Content that inspires us, which we find helpful, or just makes us smile. We thought we would start sharing these insights every Friday. Welcome to Friday Footnote.

Well done Clare

Last Sunday our Finance Manager Clare ran for Wales for the 2nd time. After making her running debut for Wales last year in Tenby, this time Clare took part in the Chester 10K, finishing 9th (out of 50) in the W45-54 category. Well done Clare - we are all super proud of you, and we are sure you celebrated with loads of coffee and cake.
