The competition was judged by Michelle Forfar, Account Manager at SAMH who attended the event to speak to employees about the impact that their fundraising has on the community who utilise SAMH’s services.
The best costume prize was presented to the Fit-Out department who dressed up as characters from Shrek.

Employees were also treated to pizza and games including ‘wrap the mummy’, pumpkin bowling and a raffle, with the lucky winner receiving a voucher for an overnight stay for two at the voco Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow.
