Society's 'Mo Stars' Go For Growth

Eighteen employees of the Cambridge Building Society – the ‘CBS Mo Stars’ - have been cultivating an unusual new hobby in November – moustache growing.

But rather than preparing for a Magnum lookalike competition, these examples of upper lip bristles were nurtured in aid of The Prostate Cancer Charity as staff and managers did their bit to support Movember.

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache from 1st through to 30th November. The idea is that the moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men.

Make Hay From The Sunshine

Cambridge-based Sitec Infrastructure Services, a major service provider to the renewable energy markets, is looking for farmers, landowners and those with large roofs who want to reap the financial benefits of solar energy.

The company, which has many years experience in the renewables industry, recently diversified its portfolio by forming a partnership with Lumicity, a firm which is seeking to finance £200million of solar PV systems on roofs and land across southern England and Wales; and East Anglia.

Chris Evans, Director at Sitec, is excited by the possibilities. “The solar market is moving forward very quickly. The drive for renewables is now backed up by the introduction of the Feed in Tariffs for the production of renewable energy which make ‘solar farms’ a real opportunity for landowners with the right sites.

“This type of development has not been viable in the UK up until now but with improvements in the solar panel technology coupled with the Feed in Tariff the timing of this opportunity is absolutely crucial, when the tariff rates are at their highest.
