This Month at BCC IT: March 2025 

Daffodils and Data

As we welcomed March, our Welsh roots shone through and we celebrated our heritage and community spirit on St. David’s Day. The bright yellow daffodils, the onset of gradually lighter evenings, and the promise of sunshine and warmer days all heralded a joyous start to the month. March also marks a time of endings – the conclusion of winter, the dark nights, and the end of our current financial year. This has kept our team exceptionally busy, as we diligently work through end of year stocktakes and financial wrap-ups. It’s been a full on few weeks, but the dedication and teamwork our staff have shown has been inspiring. Our Purchasing and Provisioning team have worked around the clock to ensure we continue to support our clients effectively, and our Accounts office are hard at work completing the final accounts and invoices of the year.

As the Welsh countryside blooms into life, our focus turns to the environment, emphasising the importance of sustainable solutions in the daily choices we make. If you’ve been following our updates, you’ll know this has been a prominent theme at BCC IT. From Global Recycling Day, when we discussed the pressing issue of e-waste, to encouraging participation in last Saturday’s Earth Hour, we’ve highlighted how collective actions can make a significant impact and contribute to a greener planet. If you’ve been inspired to join in, we’d love to hear about it – head over to our social media pages to share your own stories and pictures with us!

This weekend the clocks jump forward an hour, and with Mother’s Day coming up, it gives us a chance to recognise the supportive roles that shape our lives, and to reflect on the everyday care and reliability we aim to bring to our customers. There’s a definite sense of momentum building as we embrace brighter days, fresh ideas, and new opportunities ahead. Thank you to everyone who is part of our BCC IT journey – we genuinely value the community we support.

As the month draws to a close, our staff are being encouraged to embrace their inner Mary Berry (or any other baker of choice!) for our upcoming office bake sale. We hope to raise enough funds to adopt a BCC IT seal – Look out for our next monthly update and find out how we get on!
