A Workplace to Thrive

[Updated 29/08/2024]

Employee health is high on the agenda at Pinnacle. When your team feels looked after, then clients feel it too.

There is a lot on people’s minds. After the Covid pandemic, ongoing concern over global warming and the cost-of-living crisis, it’s important to us that we check in on our staff and their wellbeing.

Now, with Mental Health First Aiders firmly in place and classes such as yoga on-site, these are just some of the ongoing initiatives at Pinnacle to support our people.

The Need for Speed!

[Updated 10/07/2024]

We are delighted to announce our continued sponsorship of Calan Williams, 23 year old racing driver with BMW M Team WRT throughout 2024.

Calan has been having an incredible year so far, and we are thrilled to be on this journey with him. Following his recent participation at Spa 24 Hour in Belgium in the Fanatec GT, the remainder of the season will see him race at Hockenheim, Magny-Cours, and Barcelona.

But, let’s not forget Calan hasn’t reached this level of success by chance. His achievements are a result of gritty determination, a dedicated team and family, and meticulous planning. That’s why we are so proud to support Calan, seeing his performance as a culmination of the effort, preparation, and skill he puts into his sport.

We’re all truly inspired here at Pinnacle.

It all comes down to Family, Lifestyle and Legacy

Mental Health Awareness Week

[Updated 11/05/2024]

Mental Health Awareness Week (13 May – 19 May) sees the launch of Pinnacle’s internal wellbeing programme, bringing focus to both physical and psychological wellbeing, spearheaded by Georgina Birch (Assoc CIPD), HR Associate.

Georgina explains “We’re delivering a thoughtful programme of activities that bring the whole team together through exercise, workshops, opportunities to give back and to connect. It will recognise that not one size fits all, and acknowledge the benefits of making small changes to improve your wellbeing.

“We’re looking forward to a fun week ahead to kick things off whilst also raising awareness on how we can all support our own and our colleagues’ mental health.”

Proud Sponsors of Calan Williams in Round 1 at Brands Hatch

[Updated 07/05/2024]

It was an honour to be one of Calan’s main sponsors at Brands Hatch over the Bank Holiday Weekend for the GT World Challenge Europe.

An outstanding weekend for Calan and lots of fun for some of the Pinnacle team too. He and Team WRT will be thrilled to have such a great start to the year, as they look forward to Misano later in May 2024.

Farid Shawish, Managing Partner of Pinnacle explains:
“We’re thrilled to sponsor Calan Williams at Brands Hatch for the GT World Challenge Europe and be part of his incredible journey. Calan’s exceptional skill behind the wheel, coupled with his unwavering determination exemplifies the true spirit of motor racing.”

The whole team at Pinnacle are rooting for him. We have no doubt that Calan is destined for continued success in the world of motorsport and a great 2024 season.
