Staff at Luton-based Stephens Removals gave up their Sunday on 17 May to take part in Funfest 2015, a charity ‘It’s a Knockout’ competition organised by Rushden Higham Rotary in aid of local charities.  Not only did they take part, they came first, beating the team that had won the competition for the past three years.

Activities included completing various obstacle courses, some while dressed as a sumo wrestler, sack races, balancing obstacles on their heads (such as toy fish!), puzzle piece finding and building.

Stephens Managing Director Russell Edwards said, “We are firmly in the business of helping charities and supporting our local community and if that means dressing up as a sumo wrestler and climbing over inflatable walls then so be it. The whole experience has been great for the morale of our staff and the atmosphere at Stephens has been fantastic ever since, we can’t wait for Funfest 2016 to defend our crown.”
