With all our team taking part on Friday 6th June from Strathclyde Park to Crossford – we will be raising funds for Chris’s House.

Chris’s House was founded by Anne Rowan, a Wishaw mum with a passionate vision for a crisis centre established in memory of her son Chris, whom she lost to suicide in 2011 at the age of 36.

Chris’s House stands for ‘Centre of Help, Response and Intervention Surrounding Suicide’ and has been set up to offer a safe environment where people in, or approaching, suicidal crisis can have a safe place to go and get professional support. This will help them to begin to recover from their current mental ill health.

Any donations and support for such an important cause would be greatly appreciated.

Following a years travelling in Australia and previous successful sales roles, Natasha Smillie joins Softworx as our Client Manager team continues to grow.

Natasha will focus initially on our Audio-Visual, UCaaS & CCaaS and IT Managed Service practices. We’re delighted to have her enthusiasm and drive on board.

Natasha comments, “I am thrilled to be a part of such an amazing company. The team and clients are inspiring, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me at Softworx”
