Front Windows from the Main Road 2

The New Building – Progress Report

While the joiners have been knocking down and erecting walls in the new premises, we have now made a start on the signage – the front windows to be precise. Here is a small gallery of this week’s handiwork for you to admire. Laughing

Next week we start on the exterior signs, so expect more photos mid-week!

Early notice of our big move. Please update your records & keep in touch with us for all your branding needs. Calendar, diary & 2013 deskpad orders being taken now. New clothing ranges available now too. Free embroidery set-up subject to t’s & c’s until the year end.

Below is a very rare photograph of our Materials Controller, taken at her leaving presentation on Friday. I hope that she likes the watch, the bird table and the stuffed owl that her colleagues bought for her!

I believe that she later had a party but, unfortunately, this Cinderella was not invited to the ball! :-(

Perhaps I should have joined in with the Fraserburgh Junior Arts’ Panto after all! I could have taken the starring rôle!

Reminder about Job Applications

This is just a little reminder that there is a vacancy at PomPrint Designs for a full time Materials Controller. the post has been advertised in all the local newspapers, on here, and on our website. As we are closing submissions at noon on Monday, I figured that if anyone was thinking of applying, then they should keep this in mind. We have had a lot of good candidates apply already, but we would always welcome more.

Full details of the post can be found by clicking here. For more information, look out for me in our chat room, or leave me a message on here so that I can get back to you.

Now it’s Official – PomPrint Designs are on the Move.

A short time ago in an earlier posting on this blog, I intimated that something big would be happening in the microcosm that is PomPrint Designs, in the near future. Today, the directors of the company can confirm that, as of October 2012, we will be moving to new premises, still within Mintlaw.

Current Offices

The solicitors have all agreed terms, bank managers have given green lights and both parties have now accepted the proposals, so we now have a lot of work to do getting ready to move ….. over the road!! That’s right, we are moving barely 200 yards from our own front door, but to more spacious accommodation which will allow us to considerably expand our embroidery and sign making departments, as well as giving us oodles more storage space.

New Premises - Front

The property in question is the one that was recently vacated by Woodalls (the mobility people) which faces out on the main Mintlaw Station Road, sandwiched between Gordon Motors and the Aberdeenshire Heritage Offices. To give people outside the area an idea of its size, prior to Woodalls, the property was a kitchen showroom…with lots of space!

Almost as if by magic, an hour after cementing the deal, I was phoned by Kenny King, the owner of Waves Radio Station in Peterhead about our advertising campaign. When I told him the news, he put forward the suggestion that Waves do a live broadcast from the new plant once we have moved. I reluctantly bit his hand off at the opportunity, so it looks like Waves Radio 101.2 FM may well be broadcasting a show from a certain workplace in Mintlaw some time in October this year. We are also going to be looking into getting someone of a celebrity type to officially open ‘Richard Allen House’ as it will be known (in honour of my dad who passed away earlier this year). Alex Salmond himself visited both of our previous locations, so don’t rule out someone of that standing – we are hopeful!!

I will be keeping all of our blog readers up to date as and when more details are known so, in the mean time, I’m opening a bottle of La Cantera to celebrate. Glug night everyone!!
