Excellence WeekEach year Hartridge celebrate a week of team work and fun. Excellence Week 2018 runs from 18th-22nd June and we have a busy week ahead!

The aim of Excellence Week is to come together as a team and embody the Hartridge values across a week of activities. This means we are doing a wide variety of team activities, recognition awards, fund raising, and local participation.

Team Competition | Excellence Week

Our soapbox racer

We got of to a great start on the Saturday by taking part in Milton Keynes' first ever Soapbox Derby. The entry fees went to a local hospice charity. Even though we were entered in the 'professional' category because we were a business, it was Hartridge's first ever soapbox derby too. Several members of the team gave up their own time to design, build & race on the day. Other members of Hartridge came to cheer the team along. After a tough first race they pulled it back to place 4th; just missing out on a podium finish by 2 seconds! Amendments to the design for the 2019 race are already being planned.

Kick-Off | Excellence Week

Excellent Week kick off meeting got us off to a great start with many recognition awards to share. We had 6 long service awards from 5 up to 40 years' service to announce. Nominees and winners of the Hartridge Values for Q2. News that in Delphi Technologies' awards, TIER, winner for the EMEA innovation category was won by a Hartridge team member was also announced. We celebrated over 500 days without a lost time accident and set our sights on the company record of over 1500 days.

Hartridge Bake Off 2018

Next up was the Hartridge Bake Off. We are very fortunate at work to have a number of talented cooks so we set a savoury challenge instead of a sweet one. The 9 entries for the Chilli/Curry Bake Off set the bar very high! In the end just one vote was the difference between 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places. Over £50 was raised for our chosen charity for Excellence Week; Medical Detection Dogs.

What's next | Excellence Week

We have some more fund raising & charity events, as well as more team building & food based activities! Follow us on social media to see more photos & updates and you can follow the hashtag #excellenceweek to see Hartridge & Delphi Technologies' efforts for Excellence Week!
