Jobs We’ve Loved This Month
In the spotlight this month is the Alison Mantripp vessel for Alicat Workboats, a well-established business in Great Yarmouth, specialist boat builders for the marine industry. When compared to some of the fun merchandise we offer, the Mantripp boat may not be the most, shall we say, Instagrammable of jobs (unless you’re a boat enthusiast). So why did we love it so much? It brought together two of our major skill sets into one project, showcasing our experience in graphics application and the time-honoured, highly technical skill of engraving. We printed and applied the vinyl seen on the ship’s outer surfaces and engraved the internal control panels. These are the very fundamental aspects of signage and engraving and, perhaps, some of the most important elements of what we do. This was a real team effort between different departments and that’s exactly what we love.
A Model Example
One of our favourite things this month has been our sponsorship of Merrivale Model Village in Great Yarmouth. The seasonal attraction is a firm favourite in the town and holds very special memories for those of us who grew up here. To have our very own tiny sponsor board amongst the other local businesses has been a true delight! Have you been?
Promotional Banners
Something we don’t shout about very often is our printed promotional items, such as large roller banners, small table-top banners, feather flags, PVC banners, branded tablecloths, exhibition stand graphics, vinyl posters up to A1, and much more. We can also fulfil your paper printing needs with business cards, leaflets, flyers, menus, invitations, brochures, business cards, stationery and a whole host of other items. If you have an event coming up, need some new catalogues for your business, are running out of business cards or need an eco-friendly pop-up banner, then ask us.
What We’ve Been Loving in March
Sara has been enjoying the audiobook by ex-Dragon Sara Davies MBE, We Can All Make It. Davies’s book tells the story of how she built her multi-million pound business from her room in student halls from the ground up, on becoming the youngest Dragon in the Den and how she has become one of the biggest business names in UK households. Her story is an inspiration and certainly worth checking out in audiobook or traditional hardback.
Amber Shares Her Journey
February saw our Clothing Manager Amber represent This is Effective during an event hosted by East Coast College. As a former student of EEC, Amber shared her post-college journey to a cohort of Level 2 and Level 3 Business students. From joining her parents’ business straight from education to starting her own equestrian clothing brand, Jockey and Jill, Amber’s story proved motivational to the students soon to finish their own journeys at ECC.
