Crunch time!


Well what can I say, its countdown time. 
I have loved the ride, enjoy it even more if I succeed and become one of the faces for Entrepreneurship for  Sunderland. 

I think its only right that the face of Surreal however should be the Surreal Team. I love the image we generated for some PR recently. It can be disturbing as it looks so human but is not. Perfect for Surreal as we are all about What Do You See!

Fingers crossed and hopefully if we succeed the image will be a lot different in 12 months due to growth in the business.

Many thanks and keep voting

Sunny Mondays = Happy Mondays!


Phew what a scorcher!!

How nice a weekend and hopefully it will be all smiles in the office today as the weather so effects the mood in office.

We had a really good planning meeting on Friday where I took all the staff to the Hotel Du Vin for a meeting and food. Shut the office at 3 and we stayed until 8. I then went home, the team stayed out till 3am, think I made the right choice!

Came up with some great ideas re business planning, costing and maximising margins which is so important these days. One of the suggestions from the team was 'Happy Mondays' the idea we have a meeting at 9am with tea and some kind of food an discuss everybody's weekends. The idea to get everybody into the mood before the work starts. 

Work wise, various stuff on the go at the moment and working on a marketing document that one of our clients wants to use to present us in partnership with its clients to help them maximise their potential. Its a win win as our client gets a kick back from all sales generated, they introduce we do the work. Simples!!

Just in an image from a sail we have been getting produced. The hair product company HERB UK has offered sponsorship of their sail FOC. Looking good and lets hope the Isle of Wight yacht race is a big success.
