Colleagues across UM Group have been throwing themselves into the Great Molasses Challenge with gusto.
Alongside the set-piece events such as the full and half marathons and organised cycle rides, colleagues have been busy clocking up miles in their own time, whether that’s a stroll at lunchtime, a dog walk in the evening or a weekend hike.
To help collate everyone’s activity, our Group Business Intelligence Developer Adam Pierce has created a fantastic app.
Many colleagues have already downloaded the app and we would encourage others to do so – it really is impressive!
Adam, who is based at our UM Terminals head office in Regent Road, Liverpool, said: “I was approached by my colleague Simon Markham towards the end of last year to see if I might be able to create an app to support the Great Molasses Challenge.
“The intention was to add a bit of wow factor and to encourage buy-in from colleagues around the Group. The fact that colleagues are based in different locations across the UK and Europe meant it would be a good way of bringing everyone together.
“Using the tools available in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Power Apps, creating the app became a bit of a labour of love and was mainly done outside of work.
