The Placement Group’s Payroll Manager, Michael Blacklock will be diving into the world’s biggest fundraising swim for the 2nd year running in on Sunday. Michael is taking in part in the Swimathon Weekend 2012, which will give thousands of swimmers the opportunity to raise vital funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care through Swimathon’s established Distance Challenge.

Last year Michael swam a distance of 5000 meters in 2:30hrs and raised just over £600.00 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. This year he hope’s to beat both by completing the same distance but setting a time of under 2
hours!

The Placement Group, along with friends, family and colleagues are all proud sponsors of the Swimathon and are looking forward to seeing Michael beat his record!
- Best of Luck Mike!


The London Marathon took place last Sunday without the presence of our Contracts Coordinator, Michael Crossley. Unfortunately Michael was forced to withdraw from the race due to injury a few weeks prior, which is a great shame as we were sure his performance would have rivalled that of the elites! Nevertheless Michael has already secured his place on London’s streets for 2013, giving him plenty of time to train and fundraise for his chosen charity Epilepsy Action.
