Lawler Group is made up of two companies: Lawler Consulting – our Building Services Consultancy, offering MEP design services, and Lawler Sustainability – our Building Energy Services Company. As you can imagine, we are heavily involved with project work and therefore spend a lot of time at our desks. In order to motivate our staff and improve their well-being we created an internal challenge, 'Step It Up March', to improve overall staff fitness.

However this has now evolved into a company challenge of our 39 staff members [virtually, within the government advised distance-from-home guidelines] walking [the equivalent of] the circumference of the world in just 150 days - nicknamed  'Around The World in 150 Days'

Our Innovations Director, Mr Jason Smith, has calculated that this equates to:- 

• 50 Million Steps in Total to walk the equivalent of around the world
• 1.2 Million Steps per member of staff
• 60,000 Steps per staff member per week

Now, this may not sound so impressive but let us tell you, on inspection, we found most of our staff members are not reaching anything near 60,000 Steps per week, so as business we wanted to refocus our commitment to staff well-being and support our staff's health and fitness regimes.

If we succeed in our challenge by the 31st July 2021 23:59 hours all proceeds will be donated to our chosen charity Pieta.

Pieta's vision is a world where suicide, self-harm and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care and acceptance. By supporting us in this challenge you will also support Pieta in making their vision a reality. Suicide awareness is very relevant right now with increased cases during the pandemic, our business feels that support here is needed the most during these difficult times - we hope you do too.
