November 2009

Where has 2009 gone? It feels like I’ve only just finished my last blog but some how we are now half way through November with only 36 days till Christmas – gulp!

There must be a reason why time has gone so quick - maybe it's down to all the changes and of course because we have all been working so hard! On that note I must mention the NEW Multikwik website. It's a radical improvement and is now up and running for all to see. I'm sure you'll be pleased to see the enhanced level of product information, technical support and case studies - I know I am! I've learnt some great lessons during the development stage too, so I can't complain - fingers crossed the next one should be easier!

The thing I love about websites is they don't stand still. We may have launched the site now but take a look in a month and there'll be something that's changed, it might only be small but a change none the less. Look at the Hunter site - we've added online training modules, a customer resource centre, PVC info and more in the space of 12 months. But before I reveal my inner geek I'm going to move away from websites...

We've completed another photography session this month. What can I say about it? It was different! Especially when it came to the blue food dye (don't ask!), sealant and drills but the good news is we are now getting closer to our goal of having at least one photo of every product - yippee!

That reminds me I must mention our other encounter with cameras, this time TV cameras! Have you ever heard of the TV show 'Tommy's Fix Your House For Free'? Well Tommy Walsh, Britain’s best loved builder and keen recycler reckons enough is enough, he can use recycled material to “Fix Your House For Free". As keen as ever to support recycling we donated some of our Rainwater products that would have been recycled - we normally recycle all of our PVC here on site but were more than happy to support such a good cause. Sean Gay was the man of the moment here at Hunter and I'm sure anyone that watched the show will agree that Sean did really well and the Hunter site looked fantastic! - well done Sean!

Looking back at what I've just written it's dawned on me that November always seems to be a busy month. It was this time last year that I launched this website and we were running our first customer satisfaction survey. Speaking of the customer survey, you'll be pleased to hear the second one is now in full swing - so to all our customers reading this don't forget to complete your survey!

And to all my fellow colleagues reading this, it's time to raid our piggy banks once again... with Children in Need just around the corner our Sales Office are on top form yet again and are holding a fundraising day on Friday 20th November - with fun games and cakes I'll have my camera at the ready!

PS: Don't forget to check out the new Multikwik site!
