Xodus Group Raises £7,000
for Cancer Charity
Athletic employees from oil and gas engineering consultancy Xodus Group
have raised more than £7,000 for a north-east cancer support charity
by taking parting a sponsored fitness challenge.
More than 50 employees embarked
on a virtual 16,000km journey – the equivalent
of travelling between their existing headquarters
in Aberdeen ad the firm’s new office in Perth,
Australia.
The distance was covered via a
variety of means, from running, cycling and swimming
to walking and playing squash and football, over
a period of 12 weeks.
Funds raised are to be donated
to CLAN (Cancer Link Aberdeen and North) which
provides a range of services and support to people
affected by cancer.
Xodus Group director Colin Manson
is delighted with the response the challenge has
received, with more than half the Aberdeen office
signing up to take part.

He said: “This was a fantastic opportunity
for the staff at Xodus to show how we can all work as a
team to raise a substantial amount of money for such a
worthwhile charity as CLAN. The work CLAN does and the
care it offers is quite exceptional, therefore we are very
proud to be supporting it.”
More than half the total was raised by
Xodus employees, with the reminder donated by the firm.
Xodus is a multi-discipline consultancy
specialising in the independent delivery of consultancy
services and production optimisation products that support
the upstream oil and gas sector. The Xodus Group comprises
three divisions: Xodus Subsea, Xodus Oil & Gas and
Xodus Technology.
CLAN is an independent charity which offers
support to anyone affected by cancer. Based in Aberdeen,
the charity covers the whole of Grampian, Orkney and Shetland.
