ID Medical is a valued member of Team Leo and we look forward to working with them on many future fundraising events!”

Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s Leo the Lion was welcomed by ID Medical’s ‘fruitful opportunities’ characters, which lit the children’s faces with smiles. ID Medical is currently recruiting for sales professionals to join us, and this initiative just demonstrates the vibrant and caring workforce we nurture.”
