Moneypenny’s US team has been stepping up in a big way, joining their UK colleagues for “Race Across the Pond”, a company-wide challenge to collectively walk the distance between the company’s offices in Atlanta and Wrexham, UK. The initiative, part of Moneypenny’s 25th-anniversary celebrations, was designed to promote physical and mental well-being while strengthening connections across the global business.

With the distance between Moneypenny’s two locations spanning 4,110 miles, the company set out to log enough steps to complete the journey—and the results far exceeded expectations. Over four weeks, Moneypenny colleagues walked an astounding 8,023 miles, enough to travel from Atlanta to Wrexham and nearly all the way back.

Abigail Blomgren, Working Life Specialist at Moneypenny US, spearheaded the challenge with a focus on both increasing physical activity and raising awareness for heart health:

“We saw this as a great opportunity to encourage our team to prioritize their well-being while having fun. Walking is such a simple but powerful way to boost both physical and mental health, and this challenge was a fantastic way to come together with our UK colleagues. It’s inspiring to see how much we can achieve when we work toward a shared goal.”

Moneypenny CFO Andrew Collis, a passionate advocate for mental well-being, shared his enthusiasm for the initiative:

“Walking has always been one of my go-to strategies for clearing my mind and finding balance. We wanted to create an event that was easy for people to join, while also promoting well-being and community spirit. ‘Race Across the Pond’ has been a huge success, strengthening connections across our business and getting people moving in a fun, inclusive way.”

Moneypenny’s 25th anniversary is being marked with a year-long calendar of events designed to celebrate its clients and employees. The walking challenge is just one of many initiatives reinforcing the company’s commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture.
