Ocee Design shows everyone how to Step 2 It

Corporate member Ocee Design continues to demonstrate how the company is embracing the new Step 2 It campaign with staff walking thousands of miles collectively in May to raise funds.

Throughout May, the team took part in a distance challenge to walk the 2692-mile difference between the company’s various showrooms in the UK and Europe.

For every mile walked by Ocee employees, £1 was very generously donated by the company towards the Step 2 It campaign. The team at Ocee smashed their target, reaching 2942 miles and raising £2,942.

Sian Berkley, group sustainability and environmental manager at Ocee Design, said: “This is just one of our monthly fundraising events for the charity. We have a series of events over the next few months that focus on our employees’ wellbeing, bringing them together and having some fun whilst raising money for a great cause!”

Commenting on the Ocee’s fundraising efforts, Master David Woodward said: “This is absolutely brilliant. A huge thank you to everyone at Ocee who took part, your efforts have made a big difference.”

In addition to pledging to organise numerous events through the year-long campaign, Ocee is a silver sponsor of Step 2 It.

With the campaign running until the end of April 2022, there is plenty of time for businesses and individuals to get involved and help The Furniture Makers’ Company reach its target.
