In this interview with record-breaking polar explorer Pen Hadow we discuss:
- Pen’s successful trek to the North Pole, solo and without re-supply, where he made history by becoming the first (and only) person to do so.
- How he had to dig deeper into his mental and physical resources than he had ever done so before
- How it felt to finally achieve the goal that had consumed him for most of his adult life.
As with our previous interviews, Pen speaks with an openness and honesty that really enables you to visualise the sheer extremities of the challenge that he successfully undertook. (more…)

Well, it’s over. The big day has come and gone and I’ve finally had the 
opportunity to complete the London Marathon again after a 12 year gap.
This time around was much more painful than I remember from before, although rose-tinted glasses maybe playing a part in my selective memory.
Yet, importantly, I have fulfilled my goal and achieved my Jenrick Experience!
I have to admit that crossing that finish line was an extremely emotional experience. You don’t realise how much mental energy it takes to complete the marathon until you’ve reached the end, especially as this time around it was not plain sailing by any stretch of the imagination!
Let me rewind a little and go back to the starting line . . . (more…)

A number of you from around the company have asked for an update on 
how my training is going and have also asked for a link to my sponsor page for Children in Crisis. So, here you go . . . .
Training
This has gone well so far.
I completed the Great South Run (10 mile road race) in Portsmouth at the very end of October. I finished in a time of just over 1hr 30 minutes, which was where I wanted to be at that stage of my training. (more…)

In the 2009 Best Companies Awards Jenrick competed against 795 
other companies, of all sizes and spanning an array of industry sectors, to achieve this award, with just 55 achieving the top accolade of 3 Stars.
As we have briefly mentioned, what is quite unique about the accreditation is that the ratings have been compiled in a way which enables all companies, regardless of size, to compete on a level plain-field. Therefore, the final scores truly reflect which companies are the very best to work for. (more…)

Thank you to everyone in Simon Holdings & Jenrick for supporting my goal of running the Flora London Marathon in 2009 on behalf of ‘Children in Crisis.’ Your sponsorship support, through the Jenrick Experience Award, has given me a massive boost in not only my fund-raising, but also my motivation.
I thought it would be nice to let others see why I chose to run the marathon next year, by reading my Jenrick Experience submission:

Having had the pleasure of listening to Pen Hadow speak at our guest speaker event, I have to confess to being ‘bowled over’.
He talks with real passion and let’s you in on his personal life to the degree that you realise that this chap is just human and this makes his feats of human endeavour all the more impressive. (more…)
