Building Momentum
Strengthening culture, and building momentum together.
The second quarter of 2026 has been all about building momentum. We've introduced new initiatives to strengthen team culture, celebrated individual and team achievements, welcomed new faces, and continued to put wellbeing at the heart of what we do. Here's a look back at the highlights from the past few months and a glimpse of what's still to come.
🌟 Monday Momentum & Feel Good Fridays 🌟
Team Intrepid introduced Monday Momentum and Feel Good Friday Mix, two light-touch initiatives designed to support connection and wellbeing across the team.
These quick check-ins are a great way for the team to stay connected and give the team a boost by hearing what everyone is up to or how they’re feeling.
Here are just a few comments from the team: 💬
“My small win for the week was getting my working sets for bench press back up to 110kg after a few weeks of being weaker”
“My small win for the week was getting my second best time in a 10K distance yesterday”
“Small win for the week: Finally treated myself to some new running shoes, using the vitality discount!
👋 Welcome to the Team, Sak!
In May, we welcomed Sak to the Intrepid team as our Junior IT Support Engineer, supporting Hugh and Alex on the Orbital account as the workload has continued to grow.
It's fair to say that Sak has been a fantastic addition to the team, and we're delighted to have him on board. We look forward to many more team catch-ups and seeing him continue to grow in the role.
Vitality Step in to Spring Challenge
It was fantastic to see the team embracing the Step into Spring Challenge, with many participants sharing that it encouraged them to walk more, choose active travel over transport, and build healthier habits into their daily routines.
The success of the challenge has inspired us to keep the momentum going. This September, we'll be launching a Strava-based activity challenge, opening it up to a wider range of activities, not just steps. Whether you enjoy running, cycling, walking, or other forms of exercise, this will be something for everyone.
Championing an Achievement at Team Intrepid
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate an outstanding achievement from our CTO, Alexander Preston, who represented England in the Over 40s last weekend in Ireland. 🏆
The team brought the cup home, securing victories against Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, an incredible result. Even more impressively, Alex remains unbeaten, with 7 wins from 7 caps for England.
A fantastic accomplishment and a testament to dedication, performance, and team spirit. Congratulations, Alex!
🏆 A Championship-Winning Weekend for Team Intrepid! 🏆
Alex competed in the Luxembourg Masters at Top Squash Fitness & Leisure from 22–24 May, in the Men's Over 40s category as the number two seed and delivered an outstanding performance throughout the tournament to lift the trophy.
An incredible achievement that reflects the determination, discipline and competitive spirit we know so well.
Congratulations, Alex, from everyone at Intrepid! 👏
🎉 Team Building & Socials 🎉
Intrepid has had some fantastic team meet-ups leading up to July! Even the tube strikes couldn’t stop us, we simply relocated to Tring and carried on the fun. So far we’ve enjoyed interactive darts, bowling, and beer pong.
A big thank you to everyone who has attended so far. Please do make every effort to respond to social messages on Teams where possible, as this really helps with planning future events.
We always miss our overseas team members, you’re very much in our thoughts, and we’re keen to see you more often than just at Christmas! 🌍!
