'MO'st Grateful!

As MOvember draws to a close, here in the office we are assessing our ‘MO’gress this month. Roger has become slightly green with envy at the impressive attempts of his staff who are proudly representing the MO-sistas.

Roger would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has generously contributed to this years moustache which, as you know, is grown to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity.To anyone who hasn't donated, he is only a ‘whisker’ away from beating the amount he raised last year so he is kindly requesting one last push in the final ‘MO’ments of MOvember, after all it is for a fantastic cause!

Christmas is coming!

Daisy, Hannah and I had a lovely time at the Country Living Christmas Fair getting into the festive spirit. We managed to wrestle our way through the crowds to sneak a look at some of the gorgeous ranges on offer. Hannah couldn't resists buying some Christmas presents for family and friends! We also found some time to pull ourselves away for a moment to grab some lunch and were really impressed with the choice on offer. Let us know what you thought too! And of course we'd never miss a photo opportunity...

 

With Christmas in mind, we definitely recommend you have a look at Ingarden's a/w sale. With some lovely products at amazing prices you'll be hard pushed not to find your loved ones something for this Yuletide holiday! We've picked out a few that we'd love to receive as a gift!

 

The lovely terracotta birdfeeders are sure to promote some wildlife into your garden while the glass tealights transform your garden into a magical fairy land. Lastly, this arrow sign will certainly come in handy when showing Father Christmas where to deliver all your lovely presents!

11/11/11

At 11 o’clock today silence will fall over the United Kingdom in remembrance to those who gave their lives for our country. Prior to this, millions have proudly donned their poppies to mark this day. Here at Atom, we would like to give thanks to all those who have fought and to those who continue to represent our country.

Many of our clients are also keen supporters of various charities, the most recent example of this is The Playhouse Company who, in collaboration with Make-A-Wish, recently made one little boy’s wish come true. Thomas Goulsbra, of Grimsby, is one of 2,000 people worldwide who suffers from cystinosis, which damages organs such as the eyes and muscles. The Make-A-Wish foundation strives to make any suffering child’s dream a reality, no matter how big it may be. And this project was no different. When Make-A-Wish got in contact with The Playhouse Company to explain the cause, those at the workshop were more than obliging to provide them with a structure at a generously discounted price. They got to work creating the playhouse Thomas had designed.

Seeing the reaction on this little boy’s face was more than a reward enough. We hope he has many a happy play on his bespoke castle.

Movember

This week sees in the beginning of the penultimate month before the festivities begin and also Movember (@MovemberUK)! For the 3^rd year running our very own MD, Roger, will be growing his moustache to help raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Remember to keep an eye on our regular tweets @atommpr to see twitpics of the progress, which we must say, has already been surprisingly noticeable, comments have included:
