The witch report: our finance department runs on a skeleton staff
October 31, 2007
Just in case you ever wondered what the Grant Management finance department looks like, here they are, balancing the spooks.
Yes, model citizens everyone of them.
No, not in the least strange.
That’s Kevin as Re-Count Dracula, Christine staying in the black, Colin a real phan of the opera, Amy (with spiders in hair – but then it has been a damp autumn) and Penny and Maureen feeling peaky. Looks like they’ve caught a hand in the till.
As for their bony friend on the left, he’s beginning to regret those rent arrears.
It’s great to see them all getting into the spirit of Halloween but we might be worried if they come into the office like that tomorrow.
Hello sailors: Grant Management at Inverkip
October 23, 2007
Members of the Grant Management team had a well-earned day out at Inverkip marina on the west coast of Scotland. Some of them tried piloting Blue, a 54ft Moody yacht, while the rest were content to sit back, enjoy the atmosphere and look moody in their own way. Photos are up on Flickr. Everybody returned safely back to harbour, and with the yacht intact – which is just as well as Blue is for hire. You know, just in case you get a hankering for the high seas.
Back to the gym for her Race for Life
October 1, 2007
Hot news from the water cooler – or more accurately the bowl of fruit at reception. A mere nine months before she sets off again round Arthur Seat, Anna, who works in our property buying department, is hitting the gym again later today to train for the next Race for Life.
Four of our staff pulled on their trainers In Edinburgh this summer in aid of Cancer Research – you can see the photos on our Flickr page. That’s Anna, number 928 on the right with Colette Grant, one of our directors and co-founder.
It’ll be Anna’s first day back at Ballantine’s gym at Newcraighall this evening where she says her favourite training aid is the rowing machine! Not quite sure how that helps her run round Arthur’s Seat – unless she falls into St Mary’s Loch along the way – but good luck to her. I’ve got a feeling she’ll be round the office looking for sponsorship before too long.
