INSURETAXI RAISE MONEY FOR THE RNLI SOS DAY
insureTAXI – with offices in both Crewe and Southport – invit- ed their staff to dress up with a nautical theme to raise money for the RNLI SOS day. This took place on Fri- day 4th February.

There were also com- petitions such as cake making – where cakes were baked and sold to staff – and a “guess the sailor” competi- tion.
