Our blog this week is written by the
lovely Helen….
Welcome to another week at Cloud 9
towers. From a promised British heatwave, which true to form for English
weather only lasted a day here, to two new members joining the team, it’s been
a busy busy week!
Our two new interns, Toby and Helen,
have been getting stuck into life at Cloud 9 and learning the ropes. Toby who’s
nervously waiting for his A Level results, is hoping to study Management at
London School of Economics in September, so we’re all trying our best to keep
his mind off it by keeping him busy. Helen who studies business at Loughborough University , is here for a few weeks to
learn more about event management, before she goes back for her final year.
So what have we been up to this week?
We've been busy with lots of visitors
coming to join us in our ‘so not bored room’ aka our meeting room, including
Sharon Bannister and her team from Corinthia, Graham Saunders from Sandals, who
invited Rubina to Jamaica to see their fifteen resorts, and Jade Sill from Best
Western group.
Needless to say we've kept the biscuit
tin topped up this week, and the kettle on constant boil. Our doors are always
open, so let us know if you want to pop in and have a chat to us. We’ll provide
the biscuits!
Paula had a brilliant time at The PA
Club at Alea casino, presenting Cloud 9’s newest venture ‘FUSE’ on Thursday.
FUSE is our free venue finding service, and we’re all about taking the hassle
out of your event, by offering advice on social media, event styling and post
event evaluation techniques. Her game of ‘30 things in our event survival bag’
went down a treat over dinner, with many weird and random guesses.
We've been inundated with entries for
the Fresh Awards, so we've been busy processing, unpacking and being blown away
by the quality of entries so far. Don’t forget the deadline is the 31st of
July, so keep those entries coming! Harriet’s been busy booking entertainment
for the judging panel for Fresh, they've certainly got some treats lined up
after a busy day of judging.
Next week looks to be as bustling as
this one, with Harriet, Rubina and Toby off to visit Yew Lodge Hotel, which
Jade Sill kindly invited us to visit before the £0.25 million makeover starts
in January 2015.
Paula, Shannon
and Toby are off to London
on Thursday for the PR judging for the Fresh Awards, our award programme to
recognise and reward the best in Creative, Digital, Media and Public Relations
in the UK .
Harriet & Rubina are off to the Village Hotel for the reopening of the Verge Bar and Grill, to sample their new dishes, and yes we are jealous! Finally on Friday afternoon, we’re off on a staff outing to the Hinckley Island Hotel, I think a treat is in order after our hard work over the last couple of weeks!
So that's it for this week folks, have a good one!
