Statistics show 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetimes, and in truth, we are all affected by it at some point. This became a reality for TECHSiL last year as we lost one of our own; John Wiggins sadly lost his 11 year battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2022, survived by his Son Matt, and his Wife Michele. Many of you will have known John very well, having been with TECHSiL for 5 years since the M-Tec acquisition, and with M-Tec for over 40 years before that. John has left a huge gap both professionally and personally within the TECHSiL Team and is greatly missed.

Charlie, in our Accounts Team (who incidentally celebrated her 10 Year Anniversary with TECHSiL recently) has also been directly affected by this cruel disease. Recently fighting breast cancer into remission, and being given the all clear in August 2022.

In memory of John and in support of Charlie, TECHSiL intend to lace up their running shoes and take on an inflatable 5km course in Stratford upon Avon in October, even the Directors are taking part(!). We will be running to raise money for The Royal Marsden Hospital, a charity which was very close to John’s heart.
