Christmas time diamonds and wine.

Just your average carry on at Howies

Over the years I have worked for so many different companies and I can say almost without exception we never got any Christmas goodies. Nothing. Nada. Well being self-employed that may have had something to do with it. And I’m pretty sure I did get a frozen turkey from Radio Forth one year but  I left it in a bar and other than that nothing.

Some poor bar man found this under a table in the morning.

I do recall vividly feeling really hacked off  that working a whole year for a company and them not acknowledging  that fact it in any way whatsoever.

So now back in the fray at Howies  David and I were talking about this very thing when I said ‘Come on Dave let’s take everyone to Portugal for the weekend’.

Of course he passed out.

But he was fine once had brought him round with smelling salts.

Yes OK so he is money side of the business and clearly I am not. Happily.

So as  that would have put  us out of business 2 weeks after getting back into it I agreed we would be slightly more reserved.

So with 63 employees what do you get?

Well booze.

Yes it’s a cliché but it’s also something that most people can enjoy and if not they can gift it on to someone else that will.

So a lovely bottle of  delicious red wine was sourced from Corney & Barrow each of which arrived in a little silver box.

In addition we joined MacIntyres of Edinburgh for everyone too.

MacIntyres is a wholesale jeweller and you can’t shop there unless you have a Company account.  So with diamonds, watches and wine hopefully the team at Howies know how much we appreciate them. Because without them, Howies is nothing.

Merry Christmas!
