So I was just walking back from lunch with the Graphics team
and I bumped into a friend who suggested I was not blogging enough so I
promised I would write an update today....and true to my word here it is.
Since the start of April sales have been very tough, we have
been slightly under target and really working hard for all we can get in...that
seems to have been turned around now as the amount of sales incoming is back up
to great levels – this is a relief to the sales team and means we should finish
the year on target. We do need more though as I realise my board are going to
be looking for continued growth in 2012/2013, so if you know of any great sales
professionals that want to work for a growing business please send the my way.
We have had a great couple of weeks with new clients, finished
off some really big design and marketing projects and started some real fun
jobs – we have an intern called Naomi who has joined us for the summer and is
doing really well as well as Emily who is on work experience for a few days. We
are looking for a new designer at the moment to help us expand the team as well
as a marketing assistant ........I also need a PA and will be starting to look
to fill that role over the next month.
The production team are also doing well...our machines have
been flat out and we have just confirmed delivery of our new digital press,
exciting stuff all in all and more to come with our news that we will be moving
to a new building we have just exchanged contracts on....which this space for
updates on when and what will be happening there.
It’s been a great day over all and as I started by saying we
all popped off to McDonalds for lunch and our work experience girl Emily seemed
to eat the most...that’s her below – have a great weekend and watch out for my
post next week.
