A huge thank you to Charley Cheek for another incredible week of SCM instructor training!

Charley flies over from the US every year to deliver this essential training, supporting our current instructor team since 2016 and working with Moore House Group for even longer.

As Charley ...prepares for a well-deserved retirement, we wanted to make sure he took a piece of Moore House back across the Atlantic with him. We presented him with a special gift and a Moore House teddy bear as a keepsake to mark the occasion.

Charley, your dedication, support, and expertise over the years have made a lasting impact on all of us. You will be greatly missed by the whole team—we wish you all the very best in your retirement!
