The day started with a crash and ended with a glass or two of ‘wallop’ in the new local, but other than that, Moving Day for Quicksilver PR went with a bit of a bang.
Lizzie supplied the crash.
Having emptied the cupboards of glass and china in the old place, she picked up the cardboard box by the sides and … well, of course it was inevitable. The bottom fell out of her world, with shards everywhere.
Meanwhile, ‘white van’ men Simon and Mark busied themselves doing what white van men do – going at it full tilt and doing the bulk of the heavy lifting (for which many thanks).
In fact it was all a little on the hectic side, but well worth the trouble. Our former offices in Knowle were nice enough, but nothing like as picturesque as the roomy edifice we now call home.
A mixture of ancient and modern, Abbeygate, Evesham, boasts stained glass mosaic windows, views over a pretty courtyard garden in which stand graceful examples of ecclesiastical architecture from bygone centuries (any estate agents out there needing PR?)
It even included a ready-made website – full of dead spiders, and one living Mother Of All Arachnids that one of the guys from Pink Connect saddled up and rode around the office.
Re-wind that: That one of the guys from Pink Connect allowed to run up and down his arm.
That’s the sort of memory that can only be dulled with alcohol in the time-honoured tradition which saw the whole shattered crew – communications director Mark, accompanied by the physically shattered team of Dan, Jaime and Lizzie repair to the Red Horse Inn for what we in the PR game call ‘a drink.’
And a well earned one, too.
