NKD Clothing

So the countdown to two weeks of sun cream, sand between my toes and yes the inevitable mozzie bite or two is truly on and while I contemplate tomorrow’s day of ‘holiday handovers’ I’m also choosing to reflect rather proudly on the last month before throwing myself into a new one.

She graces the pages of our portfolio and website and today Nicola Mimnagh sparkles on the front pages in her glittering Miss Scotland crown. The stunning model was awarded this year's coveted title by TV's Gok Wan at a star-studded bash in Glasgow while mum, dad and brother cheered her on.

We're fortunate to have known and worked with Nicola for several years and look forward to working with her on future NKD shoots. So from all the team at NKD, well done Nicola - we're delighted for you!

I enjoyed a night of great company, delicious nibbles, a few tipples.... and LOTS of dancing at the launch of www.fatbuzz.com - for anyone who couldn't make it, this guy is amazing! Enjoy...

We think we may have found the perfect remedy for that point in the day when you hit the 'Wednesday Wall'...a sizzling torso shot of the delightful and lets face it cheese-tastic Zac Efron. And while there may be a couple of genuine fans of the child-star in our office, most of us are only too happy to forgive his lack of acting ability in 'movie greats' such as High School Musical, in order to enjoy his hidden talents on our desktops...YUMMY!!

...at the home of stylish, bespoke corporate clothing and we're pretty darn good at keeping a secret as our friends at Podcastmatters know. We're proud to support the launch of their re-brand - it's a real privilege to be involved (in small part) with the transformation of their already very successful new media business. The grand unveiling takes place at a glamorous event in Glasgow on Thursday 17th June and as anticipation grows, I'm left pondering a very important question....just what am I going to wear?? It's sure to be a fantastic bash, marking a very exciting time for the team at Podcastmatters who we adore!

Paul Adams of Marlborough College has just called to congratulate the NKD team for our exceptional customer service levels. Apparently he hasn't experienced anything like it before...further evidence that working with NKD means staff uniforms with a DIFFERENCE.

TO THE CONISTON HOTEL & RESTAURANT!

As one of the newest additions to the NKD client list, the Coniston Hotel is THE place to visit in leafy Sittingbourne. The team has sympathetically transformed a 100 year old landmark into a luxurious boutique hotel. Working with us to create a stylish look for their staff was an obvious pairing and we're proud to service such a sophisticated new brand!

Last night with my NKD Clothing hat on again I attended another fantastic event run by my favourite friend Belinda Roberts, Founder of Edinburgh based business networking group Winning Entrepreneurs http://winentrepreneurs.com/ Ricks Edinburgh was the venue (it’s rapidly becoming my favourite place in Edinburgh what with their Ambassador Card which I am very privileged to be a holder of). The guest speaker was Shaf Rasul who gave us an insight into his life, his failures and successes in business. Perhaps even more fascinating was the young Tom Mursell, a 20 year old entrepreneur who is now the youngest member of Winning Entrepreneurs. Tom is a very inspiring young man who set up notgoingtouni.com and is now working with Shaf at E-Net Distribution. I sat alongside Tom’s mum and dad for dinner - they had come up to Edinburgh from Southampton for the week and the sun was shining (doesn't it always?). Not being overly maternal myself I did feel myself wiping away a tear from my eye when Tom’s dad spoke so openly and warmly about their son’s achievements. Felt very honoured to be in the company of such a cool guy whom I imagine in years to come will be the Lord Sugar of the 2020’s but oh so much more successful!

Back to my table – who would imagine that you could have so much fun with both your dentist and lawyer at the same time??! Biju Krishnan and Alasdair Peacock. With the cocktails flowing in abundance the boys were in good form. Biju got a sale thanks to my new sparkling white teeth, Alan drank my cocktails I so wanted to drink but couldn't, whilst Alasdair got a bit jealous of my impending trip to Chicago and my Johnny Depp photographs! All in all a fab night – shame I had my sensible hat on and drove home before I turned into a pumpkin!
