New Premises 2011

Hello Guys.


Just a quick note to let you all know we have just signed up for our new unit in

Stockton earlier today.


Our new unit is Unit 4, Portrack Court, Portrack Lane,

Stockton on Tees TS18 2HP (Opposite Tecaz Bathrooms)


A huge step but one I think the business requires to expand, being 18 months in the

making and now bursting at the seams in our current location.


Our business to date is still via recommendations and word of mouth so I think

our quality speaks for itself. Together with the new unit we are looking into a new web

site to move into the Ecommerce market.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organisations, friends and family

who have helped along the way to upport the business and myself and here's to a

prosperous 2011 - I hope

Many thanks Callum

A huge thank you to the http://www.fivelamps.org.uk/ for the invite to the


25 yr Anniversary Celebration Event on Friday 12th November 2010 was a fantastic event,

mainly learning what other things the Five Lamps is involved with for the local community.


Was totally speechless to hear my name being announced for the "People Matter" award for 2010 - Totally unexpected but fantastic to have two years bloody hard work pay off !!

Many thanks to everyone involved and for your support over the past year.

Challenge Results

Second place finalist - Never been so happy to come second lol.
I've spoken to Chris and passed on my congrats to him, as I've said to him that I was more than happy to lose out to him, I'd have been gutted losing to an old lady baking 10 muffins a week.
Just get back from Brittany, blisteringly hot weather, too hot for me, but had a cracking time chilling out for once. Kids were great learning French, I struggled through....



Business is now in a partnership which means I'll be able to get all the inquiries coming in rather than losing loads of them each week being on my own.

All in all the challenge has taught me a lot, and also generated sales and enquiries, more than I'd hoped for. I can't really say I lost anything, and as my 7 year old said when I told her I'd come in second place " thats great, because you came second out of all those people and as you tell me it's the taking part thats counts" I had to agree, this comment coming from a 7 year old means I've taught her well. Also in their eyes I'm now famous as I was in the paper 5 times! Cannot argue with that really.

Time to say a big thanks to everyone involved but mostly to the kids above and my wife for putting up with the challenges over the past year and a half, and also for going without at times due to the business, so we've all had a great holiday and looking forward now to taking the business further.......... And next year I intend to win lol

Many thanks to everyone who voted their support, Callum
