The Big freeze

Cor blimey, what a cold spell we are going through, doing get in’s and get out’s in this weather takes me back to the launch of M&M’S Chocolate sweets in Germany in 1989 when we were carrying freezing cold revolve machinery and putting the projection screen material over heating radiators so we could stretch it to the scenery frames, minus 22 degrees then, so this is a bit of a cold snap by comparison.
A busy time pitching and presenting for government business and live events for staff celebrations have been the order for December, Staff parties are great fun to put together, the larger the audience number the more activities and infrastructure we have to cater for. In particular ‘night club’ style security to help party goers zig zag back to their carriages!
Some of the comments from customers this year have given me a warm feeling during this chilly spell.
‘you always do a fantastic job for us’
‘you were fantastic, I want to marry you’ errrr, nice but from a male colleague!
‘kind regards and thanks again for your excellent and unflappable support last week’
‘thanks again for a great event last Friday.. the
guys here are still raving about it and the photographs really do tell the
story well.. our CEO singing at the close of the evening was priceless
and has gone down in history!!! Thanks again…’
‘it is so lovely working with your team again’
The above comments are something proud to look back on during 2010 which has been a tough year in our market sector. Next year is looking more promising which is a relief and I am looking forward to steering the company out of the cold and doldrums of the recession and into a brighter 2011
