The nominees for the Barbon BOSCAs attended a star studded night at Madam Tussauds on Friday where they were treated to a fabulous night of glitz and glamour and the chance to hang out with the Hollywood lovelies (albeit they were wax!) The night held a variety of entertainment starting off with a private tour, followed by a 4D film experience, a champagne reception and then a three course dinner with live acts from our Barbon’s Got Talent entrants, followed by the Awards ceremony.
We are very pleased to congratulate:
- Winner of People – Caroline Dixon of Keelan Westall
- Winner of Internet – Jim Porter of Barbon Insurance Group Bordon
- Winner of Bronze Service Medal – Ollie Jackson of Keelan Westall
- Winner of The Pride of Barbon – Keelan Westall for the difference they had made to Step by Step charity (approx £11,900 raised).
A great night was had by all and we can’t wait for next year!
Keelan Westall and Cadogan Keelan Westall received their certificate for their fundraising for Children in Need this morning.
Many thanks were given to individuals within the business who exercised their culinary talents and produced a delicious array of both savoury and sweet treats for the Bordon office. From this alone they managed to raise £110.00.

BBC Surrey interviewed our very own Vanessa Riddles HR Advisor for Barbon Insurance Group this morning on Keelan Westall’s charity work for Step By Step.
Vanessa attended an early morning interview where she was questioned on charity work planned for next year and the very successful sleep out at Aldershot Football Ground which Vanessa was part of in the Summer with colleagues, Tanya Le Warne, HR Manager and Louise Morgon, HR Administrator.
We have lots of exciting plans for next year to continue to support Step by Step.
To date Keelan Westall have raised an astounding £11,383.42.
Since Barbon introduced the new Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy earlier on this year, we have taken part in a wide range of fund raising activities including the recent "sofa carry" and sky diving. Through our fundraising efforts we have raised a fantastic sum of money for a number of homeless charities across the UK - this sum is yet to be confirmed.
Our fundraising total can only get better though, and we are pleased to advise a further £1855 has been raised for the local homeless charities we currently support, this money has been raised by staff taking part in a recent Barbon survey, so thank you to all of those who completed these.
We look forward to announcing our final fundraising total soon.

Last week saw the Barbon Management team undertake the 10 mile sofa carry/push. The teams’ day started at 5am with bacon rolls and strong coffee before heading to Lloyds of London for a 6.30am start.
Amazing fund raising efforts had been taking place but the team were £2,000 short of their target, this was not good enough for the team, so with blackberries working overtime and with over 100 emails, texts and call made the extra £2,000 had been raised by the time the team crossed over the Thames!
I think if it hadn’t have been for Jerry Hall waiting for the team at the finish line things could have been a bit different!! Injuries were popping up left right and centre!
Well done to all involved and a huge thank you to all who donated.
We are helping to raise money for this year’s BBC Children in Need with a delicious bake sale and spotty dress.
Our bake sale has been a complete success with “Jillie’s famous cheese straws” selling out within 5 minutes of opening the sale!
So far we have raised £82.50 for Children in Need and we hope to raise more this afternoon for this wonderful cause.
