We recently spent time together participating in a DiSC profiling workshop with Key Business Advisors, giving us the opportunity to better understand ourselves, our communication styles, and one another. These insights help us work more cohesively as a team, strengthen our relationships, and ensure we continue to support families with care, empathy, and understanding during life’s most difficult moments.

To finish the day, we took part in a team-building exercise that challenged us to collaborate in a creative and thoughtful way, as you can see in the photos. It was a reminder that strong foundations are built through connection, trust, and teamwork.

We’re also grateful that the cost of this workshop was donated to Fight MND, as part of Daniher's Drive, a fundraiser organised by one of our suppliers, ACC Higgins. Allowing today’s learning to extend beyond our team and into the wider community.

We’re proud of our team and the care we take, with each other and with every family we serve.
