Filters

We managed not to leave it quite a month before we made a new update here this time!

On Friday Jill and Siobhan travelled to London to get a video shot of the water filters we're launching soon. We also needed photographs of the installation. It went really well and looks very professional! There will be two videos and as soon as they are edited we will post them on here... Very exciting! This means the website can be launched very soon...

It's clearly been a very busy time for us here at B & V since the New Year, as this is the first blog post in over a month!

Last week we had some VIP's from Portugal over for a couple of days training. They are a very valued export customer of ours and we enjoyed having them here - we hope they enjoyed it too!

We also had our second ISO 14001 audit yesterday, meaning we are closer than ever to being accredited! This was on of our main aims for 2010, as reducing our carbon footprint is one of the main priorities for B & V this year. It is also important for us to offer our customers ways of reducing their carbon footprint also, and we are working very hard on innovative new ideas to make this possible. 2010 should be a very exiting year for new technologies regarding the environment!

Already this year we have had a baby boom - two members of staff have become proud parents already, welcoming Jacob Ive and Lucas Brabbins into the world :)

Let it Snow!

Today it seems that all the nation is talking about is the snow. So we thought we'd join in!

Fortunately the snow here isn't that bad. Jill and I risked the slippery ground (and a skidding van) to take some photographs:

 

While we're all hoping for a very festive white Christmas, we do hope the snow doesn't get any worse so our customers still get their chemicals!

International Trader of the Year 2009 Winners!

We are thrilled to annouce that, last night at the Northamptonshire Business Awards, B & V won the International Trader of the Year 2009 award.

We are so proud of all the hard work that has gone into winning this award - every employee at B & V deserves a big pat on the back for their part played in helping us achieve this.

The award ceremony was brilliant, with comedy genius Jason Manford hosting. I was crying with laughter - he's a very funny man!

Congratulations everyone! Personally, I could not be more proud of us. All the hard work that every single person here puts in every day has its rewards, and this proves it's all worth it. We can, and deserve to, win awards like this. So well done everyone!


Watch this space for photographs :)

Mugs!

We have had a delivery of B & V mugs today. Very exciting as we have now been able to replace all the mismatched mugs in the canteen to B & V ones! Our consultants will also be handing them out to all customers over the next month, too. Which brings us very nicely to our mug competition...

This year we're giving out mugs and, in return, are asking our customers to give us a competitors mug. The aim of the game is for our consultant to get the oldest or most unusual mug! The winning consultant and customer will get a bottle of champagne each! We're very excited to see some of the mugs we get through...!

On Thursday we will be attending the award ceromony of the Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards 2009. We are up for International Trader of the Year 2009 and we all have our fingers crossed that we will win!
