I must confess to feeling a little hungover today…the reason for this? We were out yesterday at the Institute of Promotional Marketing’s inaugural COGS Awards – designed to recognise suppliers in the marketing services industry.
Thanks to our wonderful clients, and a rather cheeky email request to vote for us – we walked (or rather staggered) away with first place for Fulfilment and second place for Handling.
To top it all, Marion Seeney was awarded third place for the Individual of the Year!
What better recognition and thanks could we ask for from our clients?! Thanks so much to everyone who voted for us – we had such a great day.

We saw a recent article in 13th May issue of Marketing publication and immediately recognised Alex Brooks from For Goodness Shakes as the Brand Manager of the week! We work with Alex and the team at For Goodness Shakes doing their on-pack coupon processing.
In the article he was asked to describe himself in three words, he responded with driven, relentless and ironman. In his spare time Alex races in triathlons and Ironman events internationally for Britain. On 5th April he qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. We wish him loads of luck in the Championships and are looking forward to hearing how he has got on!

We are working increasingly closer with Hive to drive new sales and deliver excellent promotional programmes for major clients. Check out these websites for further information: –

Following our CID department’s Michael ‘Shotty’ Scott’s debut in Sweden’s music festival last year, Michael has now had repeated worldwide air plays through the internet and this has created Radio One exposure. He has recently shot (no pun intended!) a music video and is targeted for release in July. In the mean time – typing ‘Shotty’ into YouTube should bring up some of his music and artwork. Go Michael!!!
On behalf of everyone at MRM and Client Services in particular, we’d like to extend a warm welcome to Client Services’ latest recruit, Denise Restorick. Denise joins us from Valassis and has many years experience providing admin support. We’re sure she’s going to be a great addition to Yvonne’s growing team!
It’s incredible to think that we’re already approaching the 1000th competition for the BBC. In the last 9 months we’re now processed over 1.2 million entries. Our internal IT department have set up a technical solution via our competitions extranet to allow web and email entries to feed automatically into the draws. This allows the data capture screens to be pre-populated whenever we have a web winner.
For more information on our competition solutions, contact Mel or Claire on 0844 99 12345.
Congratulations to George and Liz on 50 years together, we wish you all the best for the future.
Everybody at MRM would like to congratulate David on the birth of his son Arthur Charles, 7lbs 2oz. We hope to see both of you soon.
Michael Irons has been recruited to join our busy Client Services team, we wish him every sucess in his new role.
