Waiting for the snow

Posted in Promotional handling      Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Here in Market Harborough, in the centre of the UK at the fabulous promotional handling house that is MRM, we were all very excited first thing as we got into the office nice and early in anticipation of the promised heavy snow.

It all started well, with red skies (the old ‘shepherd’s warning tale was being spoken across the building) and cold weather but now, less than 3 hours later we’ve got clear blue skies and sunshine and not a snowflake in sight.

However some of our clients are not so lucky…Forestry Commission based up in Edinburgh have sent us some amazing photos of what can only be described as the biggest blanket of snow we’ve ever seen.

With promotional campaigns and mail order incredibly busy for us at this time of year for our DVD and book retailers – we’re working hard to ensure all orders are despatched on time as we work through express delivery options and do our utmost to make sure all those present orders arrive in time for Christmas.

….but we’re still disappointed that we don’t even have enough snow to make a snowman like we did last year…

Have you got snow where you live? Tell us about it and we’ll be even more envious!

Best varsity match ever – MRM and Hive still recovering

Posted in MRM News      Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

If you ring into either MRM or Hive offices any time before 3pm please forgive any general wooliness or confusion. The reason? We’re still recovering from what has to be the best MRM and Hive varsity celebration ever yesterday. Hosted at The Ailsa Tavern, just down the road from Twickenham – there were 35 of us sneaking pegs of each other, checking which hand we were drinking with and having a good old chinwag over an awful lot of drinks.

I checked the bar bill this morning and was quite surprised to see that we’d drunk our way through 104 chilli sambucas alone last night-  that now explains why we’re feeling a little sore in the head and hoarse I guess…

Thanks to our various guests from British Gas, IPC Media, Wax Communications, Hive, Crayon London, Heinz, Net Initiative (who flew down for the game, such is their commitment), Colgate, Kimberly Clark, Bausch & Lomb, BSH Appliances, the Institute of Promotional Marketing and all the other clients that took the time to spend the day and evening with us.

From the various emails we’ve already received today, we understand you all to have got home safely – in various states.

On behalf of everyone at MRM we’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you soon.
