Well if you can, it could certain make for some interesting characteristics when it comes to the hyperactive team. With the sun beating down and the temperature rising (even with the air-con on!) A recent splash out by our MD on our local ice-cream van saw a much welcomed and eclectic mix of flavours and sizes and a few statements of position.

While most of us including the most recent member of the team (Peter) opted for the traditional, rather modest 99p fake and Liam the politically discreet choc-ice, it’s no surprise that our illustrious MD James went for the Magnum gold. Although he says we had the choice.. we think he like’s the size and feeling of power his Magnum purchase gave him. Next time we have all pledge to ‘go large’ on the ‘dipped.. Fat Boy’… a 99p taken to the extreme with 2 flakes, £2 worth of silky smooth ice-cream.. all dipped in rich milk chocolate. The battle has begun!

With the World Cup firmly underway and everything to play for on Wednesday, it seems the competition in the office has come to a head with Liam out performing both James and the other guys when it comes to completing their collections.

Although some cheating has been claimed, it's likely Liam will be first to the post with only 2 more to complete his collection. Hot on his tail is Peter and James though, so who knows! If anyone out there has a Nam Song-Chol or a Thomas Kahlenberg then you may be in a great position to bargain.

Despite this rather unflattering self proclamation of being 'Ready Salted', we hope you’ll join us in welcoming Peter Hammond to the hire desk.

With the recession still hanging around and many companies cutting back, we seem to be getting busier and busier, which is of course great news and to ensure we continue to exceed our client expectations we’re not just investing in equipment, but the people behind it. As the driving force behind our business, their relentless passion and commitment to the job make us who we are.

As an experienced co-ordinator Peter comes to us with many years previous hire desk experience for a major events company and has already started to make his mark here. When he’s not admiring architecture or studying its history in places such as Rome, Prague and Portigal you’ll probably find him snowboarding on the ski slopes, playing a spot of cricket or gearing up for the motor racing on the box.

All in all, a great new member of the team. Welcome Pete!
