Who woke up with snow this morning?

Snow has arrived across parts of the UK, with Manchester waking up white, just ask our northern operations manager, Max Cassin, who spotted the Ouch van covered in frost.

Areas like Aberdeen, Aviemore, and parts of Yorkshire also saw icy starts.

If you're heading out today, here are a few quick safety reminders:

🚅 Check travel updates before setting off
🧣 Wear warm, visible gear if working outdoors
🥶 Review cold weather protocols with your team
🚶‍➡️ Grit walkways to prevent slips

At Ouch, we help organisations stay safe and compliant—whatever the weather. If you're reviewing your winter safety plans or training needs, we’re here to support.

It’s been a busy week for Ouch behind the scenes... 🥪

To keep the energy high, we treated the team to festive sandwiches and sweet treats from Mark Bennet’s – because great work deserves great food.

We make sure every detail is right for you.

And that takes focus, teamwork, and sometimes… a little pastry motivation.

How are you keeping your team energised this December? 🎄
