Waitrose Cheque Presentation

Yesterday Janet, Alex, Vaughan and Mel went to Cambridge. The visit had two purposes.

Firstly, as a result of Sarah Bevan nominating Burwell Print we were one of the organisations that Waitrose in Fitzroy Street collected for. We met with the store manager who presented us with a cheque for £125.00. A big thank you Waitrose and their customers.

We then went to Rowan's private view of their Photography Exhibition. Several of  Rowan's students have been doing a photography course and the exhibition was the result of weeks of learning and experimenting with photography. We printed the photographs at the Print Centre so it was great to see them on the wall in the Rowan gallery. Janet thought the exhibition was "very good and great to look around Rowan's studios".

Get set for summer!

Jen and John looking at our window display at Tina's shop in Burwell, and the theme this month is 'Get set for summer'.  Many thanks to Steven, Sarah and Vaughan for putting this together.

We have all been working very hard today to complete a fast turnaround job - 38 hoodies for students from City of Ely Community College who are going to New York at the weekend. Here Usman is quality checking, folding and packing the hoodies ready for collection.

Another job well done at very short notice!

Elaine Ellis at the Strategic Health Authority contacted us on Monday of this week to ask if we could print more than 12,000 sheets and then collate into 200 delegate packs for a conference on Thursday of this week! We checked to make sure this was achievable and thankfully we were able to fit this job into our work schedule on Wednesday! We’re not always able to do this BUT it’s always worth asking.

All hands on deck!

Today we all had to work as a team to get 1800 flyers printed and posted out 1st class. We spent the day labelling, stuffing and stamping!

VoiceAbility Parliament

Today we went to represent Burwell Print at the VoiceAbility Parliament Day in Ely, topic of the month was work.

Everyone overcome their nerves to talk in front of a large group, telling them about what we do and why they love coming to work and it's not just to get paid!

We enjoyed a good lunch and sported new lime green Burwell Print t shirts for the day.

Well done to you all

Darwin Nurseries came to tea

Workers from Darwin Nurseries visited us this afternoon. They delivered plants and leaflets which we will be taking to the VoiceAbility Parliament meeting tomorrow for them. We persuaded them to stop for a while and have a cup of tea with us.
