Story

September is beard growing month within the Regulatory IT team in London and Singapore. 

The primary aims of this event are to :

1) avoid shaving for a month, and

2) raise some money for charity.

We are 50% through the month now and, as you can see from the photos, some fine and manly beards are beginning to take shape.   At the end of September there will be awards for best (and worst beards) in Singapore and London as well as the coveted 'Best overall beard' title.    

Anyway, please sponsor the beard growing men of the IT team - it's a manly effort and its for a good cause.
