Allen & York, a Wimborne based Recruitment Company, prepare to return to the waves as a strong competitor in the 21st anniversary of the Little Britain Challenge Cup (LBCC) in September.

Market leading recruitment specialists serving the Natural and Built Environment sectors in the UK, are returning to Cowes for the second year running, to compete in the worlds largest industry regatta in the UK after Skandia Cowes Week.

Since 1988, the LBCC has welcomed Construction Industry professionals to race in a four day sailing event in support of nine chosen charities. Allen & York have donated £000’s to these charities through taking part in the event whilst rewarding members of staff.

As Allen & York are an environmentally friendly company familiar with the importance of protecting the environment and supporting sustainability, it was decided upon for team building efforts to utilize a sport fuelled solely by renewable, wind energy.

30 places have been filled to crew the Elan 410 Racing Yacht, GBR 410L. The best managers will sail alongside the best developers, best consultants and best support staff. In addition to the pressure of this years competition, the chosen thirty have last years ‘4th in Class’ title to beat.

Becoming the first recruitment company serving the environmental sector to earn the Investors in People Award was an achievement won through the underlying belief that the most valuable asset for any business is the people it employs. Rewarding individuals’ performance successes with places at the event recognizes Allen & York’s commitment to its employees.

The Ellen MacArthur Trust, Jubilee Sailing Trust, Paralympic Sailing Team and The Cirdan Sailing Trust are the four main charities that Allen & York are supporting by taking part. They are sailing charities helping disadvantaged or disabled people experience the world of sailing.

Mark Allen, the Managing Director, said ‘We are very proud to be part of the Little Britain Challenge Cup again this year. It is an opportunity for us to expand our support to a wider variety of charities whilst providing members of staff with encouraging incentives for high-achieving.’
