This year, on Global’s Make Some Noise Day, we were so lucky to have so many amazing partners and build these partnerships into our challenges and content. Thank you to Universal Pictures International Entertainment / The Wild Robot, who supported Amanda Holden’s Big Ride to Work, cycling from her Mum’s house in Cornwall, to London (over 250 miles!). Roz the robot was featured at Amanda’s finish line, and was a huge highlight on the day. Thank you to Domino’s Pizza UK & Ireland Ltd , who supported Toby Tarrant’s challenge, Tarrant Vs The Thames, where he spent five days pedalling over 50 miles, all on a unicorn pedalo! Domino's hand-delivered to Toby during his challenge, helping to keep a smile on his face. Thank you to Viking , who supported Dan Walker’s Coast-to-Coast challenge, where he cycled the full width of the North of England, as well as Aled Jones and Alexander Armstrong’s Famous Five Flipped challenge, where Aled set out to find five hidden clues on a Viking ocean ship, putting Alexander’s knowledge to the test on-air. Thank you to Digby Brown Solicitors , who supported Des' Great Walk to Glasgow, where Des Clarke took on a gruelling challenge, walking from Fife to Glasgow in less than 24 miles! Finally, a huge thank you to our headline sponsor Furniture Village , who supported our entire appeal, donating furniture to some of our amazing charities, and more. We raised a life-changing amount of over £3.7 million for small, local projects which provide essential support and services to those who need it most, and we couldn’t have done it without these partnerships, and that’s not to mention all of our other partners! If you are interested in partnering with us, drop us an email at contact@makesomenoise.com – we’d love to hear from you. #MakeSomeNoise #Global #CorporatePartnerships

Global's Make Some Noise

Great to join in the fun with everyone at Global on Friday for Global's Make Some Noise Day!

As Global’s Make Some Noise headline partner, we know how much this will make a difference to the thousands of people supported by small charities and local projects all across the UK. We’ll also be hosting our own fundraising event soon. Watch this space 👀 #GlobalsMakeSomeNoise

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace. We spend a lot of time at work and we're committed to ensuring every employee in our business has access to free mental health support. Our Employee Assistance Programme offers confidential counselling and free mental health resources to support our people through life's ups and downs. We've also taken the additional step of providing mental health training for all our managers so that mental health awareness is embedded in our culture and teams - the place where it really matters. By fostering a culture of mental health awareness and support, we've seen the benefits in individual well-being and it has also made us a stronger, more collaborative and resilient business. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorkplaceWellbeing

Another week, another supplier visit 🇷🇴 Over 20 of our people jetted off to Cluj in Romania to meet the team at Bodahl Møbler and take a peek behind the scenes at their factory. Bodahl craft stunning, one-of-a-kind oak dining tables, and it was a privilege to see the skill and care that goes into making one up close. There's a story behind every product we sell, and we're passionate about helping our store consultants bring these stories to life for our customers. As well as lots of time on the factory floor, there was also time for a spot of high-wire hi-jinks which was great fun!

Over 20 of our people recently jetted off to Florence to visit our friends at Stone International 🇮🇹 As part of an industry first, they followed a beautiful piece of natural marble all the way from the quarry to its final destination as a stunning table, much like the ones in our stores. Gaining first hand insight into the craftsmanship involved will empower our colleagues to bring the story of Stone International's unique pieces to life with our customers.

“Best night’s sleep ever.” We normally let the quality of our mattresses speak for itself, but on this occasion we're more than happy to let the experts at Ideal Home do the talking. Writing about our Hypnos Beds Majestic winning Best Pocket Sprung Mattress in the Ideal Home Bedroom Awards 2024, they said: “The reputation of the Hypnos Majestic mattress is indisputable… it delivers on exceptional comfort and support for a good night’s sleep. I have yet to meet a reviewer who doesn’t rave about this mattress brand.” All that’s left to say is we’re deeply honoured to have won both Bedroom Retailer of the Year and Best Pocket Sprung Mattress in this year’s Bedroom awards. And rest assured, we’ll always remain committed to giving our customers their best night’s sleep yet.

To celebrate National Payroll Week, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the people who make payday happen 👏 Our small team looks after over 1,000 people and is a key part of ensuring that our Family Partnership Bonus is paid on time. Their dedication and expertise keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and we couldn’t run our business without them. Here’s Rob and Lucy on what they love most about working in Payroll: “I am thrilled to be leading our payroll team. It’s where passion meets precision. It’s a busy job and we often work to very tight deadlines, but I love every moment. Every payday is a reminder that we’re supporting a whole community of people across the UK, as well as fuelling dreams and securing futures." Lucy Fearnley, Payroll Manager “Working in Payroll is unique as we work closely with colleagues from every part of the business. We get to know how they work and make sure they get paid accurately every month. Building these relationships is key. We’re constantly endeavouring to improve the service that we provide to our colleagues and, for me, that’s the most rewarding part of being part of the Payroll Team.” Rob Dunstone, Payroll Advisor
