Glitz, Glamour, and a Dash of Drama

Inside the Awards Ceremony

Greetings!

Allow me to whisk you away to the dazzling world of last night's awards ceremony, a night filled with glamour and excitement!

Wembley Stadium shimmered with the presence of the nation's finest construction a, gathered together for an evening of celebration. As far as the eye could see, the crowd was a sea of elegance, the entire Erect & Tile team were dressed in impeccable black-tie attire, even Douglas had made an effort.

We all indulged in the luxurious offerings of the evening, from complimentary cava, to a sumptuous three-course meal that was only slightly undercooked. Amidst the laughter and chatter, it was a moment of collective appreciation for our hard work and dedication, a well-deserved opportunity to revel in the company of the whole team.

However, amidst the glamour, fate had other plans. Donna, bless her soul, encountered a wardrobe malfunction of epic proportions. The skirt of her dress became ensnared in the unforgiving clutches of a lift door, resulting in a dramatic rip from the waist, exposing her lower body to the elements. Panic threatened to overshadow the evening's festivities, but fear not – our heroine Alice, ever the resourceful one, came to the rescue.

With a stroke of genius, Alice emptied her sequined bag which was filled with an impressive array of EnticGrip© grout shades (we have a staggering 33, to be exact!). Using the delicate hue of No.9 Whispering Fuchsia, she expertly reattached Donna's skirt with such precision that you could hardly notice anything had happened! Truly, it was a stroke of luck that saved the day and ensured Donna could gracefully take her place and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Yet, as with any tale of triumph, there must also be moments of bittersweet reflection. Despite our collective hopes and fervent cheers, Jeremy, narrowly missed clinching the
coveted award 'Inspirational Construction Leader of the Year!'. Nevertheless, his valiant efforts did not go unnoticed, as he proudly emerged as the deserving runner-up. Jeremy's resilience and dedication serve as an inspiration to us all, a reminder that even in defeat, there lies the seed of future triumphs yet to come.

As the evening drew to an end Alice and Steve's dedication to their work shone brightly as they announced they would be making a late-night return to the office. Undeterred by the late hour, and that they had drunk quite a bit of cava, they embarked on a mission to tackle their emails with unwavering determination. Their actions serve as a testament to the tireless work ethic and steadfast dedication that define our team, reminding us that true success is born from a relentless pursuit of excellence, regardless of the time or circumstance.

See you next week, Rebecca x
