In true PI-KEM BBQ form, the sun came out for the PI-KEM team and our guests at our 7th Annual PI-KEM Company BBQ on Tuesday 1st July.

Thanks also to all of our guests who were able to join us, and have supported PI-KEM this last year.

And a special thanks to So Catering for providing an amazing selection of food.

The day was also our chance to hold our Race Off, to crown our Wacky Racer of the Year, from our recent Company Development Day where amongst many other activities, the PI-KEM team were tasked with creating a wacky racer car. Congratulations to the winners Adam Gadsby and Amy Rowe – Team AA!

This was also a day to reflect on our theme ‘It’s Time 2…’ which saw the PI-KEM team and guests receive goodies to remind us all that we need to take time ‘2 Break, Refresh, Hydrate & Rest’.

All great advice for the future year to make sure we continue growing on PI-KEM’s successes.
