Bangers and Beer

On Wednesday we had our annual client drinks, which were held right here at the pr shop. We realised our fancy bbq had only been used once, and considering it was still summer, thought that we could provide everyone with a banger and a beer!

Needless to say that just as the bbq fired up it started to pour down, but it didn’t dampen our spirits! A big thank you to Dawson’s catering – the food was fantastic and the friendly and efficient service was even better (Pippa wasn’t allowed back on the bbq after everyone ended up eating black sausages last year!). Thanks to those who came to celebrate with us - what a fabulous start to 2010!

TWININGS NEW ZEALAND BREAKFAST TEA CHALLENGE

We are so excited to be working on the Twinings New Zealand Breakfast Tea Challenge, where Kiwis get a chance to create their own perfect blend of tea, submit it for judging by an amazing panel including Paul Henry, Kate Hawkesby, Celia Harvey and Dr Laurence Eyres, who will choose ten finalists. The winner will travel to the UK to meet with the blend masters at Twinings to refine their blend and then the final product will go on sale across NZ.

We are getting lots of calls from all sorts of people - Trelise Cooper, Wendyl Nissen and Wallace Chapman to name a few who have all started blending their favourite cuppa so we know competition is going to be pretty strong!! All the tea lovers are coming out of the woodwork!!! Still time to enter if that's you - www.twinings.co.nz

NEW TEAM MEMBER

We have a new team member. She is a bright, young graduate who has already impressed us with her eye for detail, her ability to listen (a rarity) and ... well she laughs at our jokes so she's going to fit in just fine!

Alysha Dingle (Lysh) is a fulltime Junior Account Executive and be nice, her boyfriend is a copper. You'll get to meet her if you're coming along to our drinks on Feb 10th, and if not, say hi next time you call the shop.
