pancake day


 We couldn't let Shrove Tuesday pass without some pancake themed competition in the office could we? The Creative team stepped up and provided us with, not only scrummy pancakes and a selection of toppings, but also a couple of frying pans to see who could toss their pancakes the highest which resulted in a three-way tie between Barny, Narissa and Laura.

An additional 'Most Stylish Toss' prize went to Elisha.

the running club


A few of our BS Midlands team (25% of the office to be approx!) have taken it upon themselves to start up a weekly lunchtime running club. We think it's part of the New Year guilts, but not ones to discourage them we've kitted them out in rather snazzy Blue Skies running tops. 

It's the least we could do.
