What November has brought though, in shed loads, is good news for the team here at CHA.
Good news point number one: We have won ANOTHER CIPR Gold award for our Internal Communications work with Aviance. Click here for the full CIPR statement http://tinyurl.com/28a7wfr (we are award number 3)
Good news point number two: Chris has started growing a mo (moustache) for Mo-vember.
http://uk.movember.com/mospace/547006/ this will take you to Chris’s page on the official Prostrate Cancer website where you can follow his mo’s progress and donate your hard earned pennies to help defeat this pernicious illness. 45,000 people supported the Prostrate CancerCharity in 2009 and helped to raise over £5 million. Go Chris!

Work wise things are going great guns. We have brought on a few new clients this month; Into Play, a children’s nursery in Longleven’s Gloucester and, continuing a long standing relationship, we provided marketing material for Stadium Marketing Solutions to take to Rio de Janerio, Brazil, where they will be exhibiting at the world famous Soccerex.
Chris is mighty envious that he can’t hand deliver the goods to the event which is described on their website as,
‘...As well as the conference, exhibition and the two-day spectacular Football Festival, Soccerex mixes business with pleasure through a long list of social events, culminating with The Soccerex Sugar Loaf Extravaganza where delegates will enjoy five-star cuisine and musical entertainment, in the company of soccer legends, on Sugar Loaf Mountain.’
Natalie and I fail to see what the fuss is all about. It’s only football after all.

A beautiful cow by any other name
Earlier this month we organized what has to be the photo of the year for local food ingredients supplier Garrett Ingredients when they rebranded from Renshawnapier. One photographer, a full complement of staff a herd of dairy cows and a huge amount of lady luck later, the picture of the year was in the bag. Not in the cow pat. Thank Goodness.

Haven’t they Grown!
Annual ‘Apple Day’ celebrations came around again at the end of October so we put our wellies on and went back to Memorial Woodlands to see how apple trees planted to celebrate ‘apple day’ three years ago had grown. Looking back at the photo of the children who planted the original trees we wondered how they much they had grown as well so, with a little detective work and some really helpful mums, we managed to track them down and invited them back to be photographed again beside their trees.

Finally, we have a new member of the CHA team. Bernard was, like the lead characters in all the best novels, left on the shelf following an estimated £285 million spend on Halloween goodies by UK residents. Louise could not see him left on the literal shelf so paid for his freedom and gave him a new home at 12 Royal Crescent. He sings and dances to a fab version of ‘Rappers Delight’ and has the CHA team rockin’ away of an afternoon. We are thinking of posting him on You Tube. Watch this space.
