A huge well done to the Amigo team that took part in Movember this year, raising a total of £1122 between them.
An extra special well done to Seb (the guy in this pic) who raised the most - a staggering £605, more than half the total team amount!
Amigo has agreed to double the money raised for this great cause, meaning that the charities will receive £2244, thanks to the efforts of our moustache growing amigos!
MOVEMBER UPDATE:
Hi Amigos,
I'm Scott, I've worked at Amigo for just over 8 years and I look after our online communications. A big part of my job is running our Facebook page and making sure that customers who contact us with specific questions get them answered and go away super-happy.
I'm doing Movember for a few reasons. The main one is that a member of my family has recently been affected by cancer, it's really made me think about what I can do to make a difference with raising awareness for causes like this. It's such a little thing to do, to make such a difference, it's a no-brainer really, even though my moustache is multi-coloured and looks pretty terrible!

We LOVE Sundays. Hit Like if you're as happy as we are that it's not Monday yet :)
Hi everyone,
I'm Seb. I've been here for 3 years and work on the design team. It's my job to make the website really easy to use and work with the IT guys to make sure everything's working as it should! We're always looking for new ways to make it better for customers, so feel free to drop us a message if you've got any ideas!
This is my first year doing Movember. Like lots of others, my family's been touched by cancer. Knowing that 1 in 9 men are diagnosed with the disease is enough motivation for me to get involved and grow a tash (although I'm starting to regret it as mine's growing quite slowly and fast becoming an office joke!)
I'll be posting regular photos to my page, so you can keep up to date with my MOgress.

Nice to see us mentioned in the Daily Mirror as an alternative lender for people looking to borrow for business purposes yesterday!
We've seen a big increase in applications for business purposes over the last 12 months, it's nice to get recommended to other people looking for funding for their small business!
MOVEMBER UPDATE:
Hi there,
I'm Tom, I've worked at Amigo for nearly 4 years and I'm currently a manager in the Pre-Payout Team.
My team is here to make things as simple as possible and answer any questions you might have about taking a loan out (or standing as guarantor for someone). I spend most of my day training my team to give the best service possible when speaking to customers.
I've decided to take part in Movember, to raise much needed awareness for testicular and prostate cancer and try to raise some funds for these great causes, along the way.
I'll pop back with a new photo in a few days, hopefully to show you a slightly longer tash!!!
If anyone wants to donate a £1 or 2, here's my Movember sponsorship page: http://mobro.co/tomnewman
If you do make a donation, make sure you comment on this post, as I'd like to pop back to say thank you.
Thank you,
Tom

At Amigo, we're lucky enough to hear about incredible stories of friendship every single day.
Whether it's a Dad helping his son pay off his expensive payday loans, a friend helping their mate to grow their budding company or one family member helping another to deal with an unexpected bill, we thought we had heard it all when it came to friendship.... but......
A cat and dog being best buddies though, that's a first for us.
