Dear All

Well the football on Saturday at Dagenham was an unmitigated disaster, a 5-0 loss, our keeper sent off (so our replacement was a guy who has played about 45 minutes of football in 7 years, so he’s that good!) and rain hit us even in the sponsors box, so my sisters birthday present was not a succesful one.

Still, the carvery lunch was excellent with Roast Pork, Yorkshires, Veg and 8, yes 8 roast potatoes for me! I honestly believe that relegation is a near certainty now as the confidence has gone and even the Captain looked downbeat.

Never mind I had Arsenal to cheer me up…not! But we had a quiet Sunday and now back at work to hopefully finish the month on a high. My 121 is this afternoon so that is always an opportunity to learn and to coach my staff as a result. Leaders can always learn more!!

The Cover4 Sales Team had an outing last week to the Excel Caravan Show and Crystal loved it so much so went back on Saturday in her free time! They will be undertaking a presentation to the Team at the next Team meeting so again even I can learn!!

Have a great day

Mike

PS quick birthday wishes to my Sister Caz who turns…older today!

Well I am back in the office today following a fruitful trip to London to visit one of our Insurers, we made excellent progress and also discussed claims, which is a very important area and one that we take very seriously.

On the way home I saw an advert for a budget travel policy and, being an insurance broker, my first thought was “what cover are they offering?” Cheap policies may be attractive but it is important to look at what is behind the price. If you invest your hard earned money in a caravan, surely you want the best protection available? I have seen far too many of these cheap offerings and it still frustrates me to think that people do not totally understand the cover thet are being offered.

Well that’s a rant over! Tomorrow sees the staff party, we have this in the New Year which is a good thing as January is quite a depressing month financially and a free night out is always welcome!

Have a great day all

Mike

Dear All

Did anyone see the Paul Merton show on Caravanning last night, if you missed it it’s on Channel 5 On Demand http://www.channel5.com/shows/paul-mertons-adventures/episodes/florida-3

It will be interesting to hear your views!
