We wore our Wellies to Work... 30 September 2010 We all wore our wellies to work recently in aid of National Wellies to Work day www.welliestowork.com. The event is held annually in aid of children affected by disease and disability. Children’s charities are close to our hearts as we all have small children of our own. Phil and Katherine, who are expecting their first child in October, commented, ‘We were very happy to take part in this fun and worthy event, the team all enjoyed the day and we managed to raise some money for children who really need it. What more could we ask for?’ Everyone who took part was charged for the ‘privilege’ of wearing their boots and those who didn’t were also charged for not taking part! It was a rewarding feeling to be able to send a cheque donation to this worthwhile charity and a great deal of fun was had by all in the process. We’d like to reassure all our clients that the wearing of wellies in no way impacted on the quality of work produced on that day! If you’d like to talk to us about refreshing your business, with or without unusual footwear, just call us on 01428 722990 or email zoe@mzuridesign.co.uk
