Virya Technologies, together with the rest of the nation are now 10 days into the Great British Walking Challenge and Chris Smith, Apprentice, is top of the Virya leader board. To date Chris has walked just over109.31 miles, but we at Virya Technologies aren't slacking; between us we have burnt enough calories equivalent to 46 muffins, saved 46.39kg of CO2 emissions, and are at 0.31 times from Land's End to John O'Groats - we're getting there.

This May, people across the UK will be leaving their cars at home and taking to their feet in the Great British Walking Challenge. National Walk to Work Week (14-18) May is one event taking place during the month long challenge which encourages commuters to walk their way to a health lifestyle.

Lets face it, most of us have one too many mince pies and not enough exercise over the Christmas period, Virya Technologies are encouraging our staff to make 2012 their healthiest yet with their 2012 pedometer challenge.

Virya Technologies are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Suffolk Carbon Charter at Bronze level - demonstrating the commitment to reducing our impact on the environment, and introduce different ways of working which will reduce our carbon footprint.
