The inaugural Workplace Week in 2009 happened after Andrew Mawson, AWA’s managing director, watched Children in Need and had the idea for a workplace-related event raising money for the charity.
Mawson said: “Workplace Week has fast become an absolute must in the professional calendar since AWA launched the first one in 2009. Through fantastic support from sponsors and everyone who has participated in the last few years we have raised a whopping amount for Children in Need. Workplace Week 2013 raised £11,500 for the charity, and with Workplace Week 2014 we hope to raise at least £15,000 and create an even bigger spectacle.”
