It’s been a happy week at the Workhouse!

What with Grahams wedding, Nicky meeting the Duke of Kent, and the sun shining it’s been a happy week at the Workhouse! It’s been incredibly busy, Campo’s been doing some great work on Stax Trade Centres World Cup promotion which includes scratch cards, a giant spot the ball competition and an online fantasy football game which you can join here…. http://staxfantasyfootball.co.uk/

We’ve been doing a load of work for Lancashire Police Authority and received this nice testimonial from them recently….

I just wanted to say that  I am extremely impressed both with the quality of the work to date and the support, information and sunny dispositions that you have.  Please also pass on my thanks to both Jamie and Graham who have excelled themselves design wise and Graham in being such a good sport about donning the Bond suit!

We also got a good testimonial fom Andrew Graham for the work we’ve been doing on Youth Zone…”

Nicky, the marketing was outstanding”!

Well done to all the guys here who work on the Youth Zone project.

It’s been great to see James Warburton in the building this week as Heidi and Jamie help him with his new venture, and it’s very pleasing to be working on some nice stuff for Crown Paints with Steven and James which we presented yesterday. We’re getting excited about  The Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board Tourism Awards which is happening on Weds… we are sponsoring the Small Visitor attraction of the Year Award. Heidi, Nicky and Steven are going along to the awards to support our client (definitely not for the nice big slap up lunch)

And we’ve been busy on loads of other clients too, and met some potential new clients. Good to catch up with Rob Carder at Mid Pennine Arts, who created the fabulous Panopticons which I blogged about last week.

I go on my summer hols on Wednesday, a cruise round the Med (Nita no longer does aeroplanes!), sailing from Southampton on the new P&O liner Azura which was launched in April. Looking forward to stopping at Venice, Gibraltar, Dubrovnik, Split, Malaga and two places in Greece.

It’s a nice feeling to go off on hols knowing that we have a happy business, a growing business, and a successful business. Just hope it’s like that when I get back!!
