Hi there.

Thanks for popping in.

We are having a major clean out and mop up here, 

both at Clarity Towers and at home.

There’s nothing quite like a declutter, to clear the mind, is there?

Filing, sorting and rejigging certainly feels quite liberating.

We have got so much going on at work and in the pipeline! Forward planning, expanding, trying to keep it all under control, keep it real, stay on top of cashflow and keep everybody at Clarity happy are all full time jobs in themselves. 

Sometimes I get so caught up in it that I forget Dave and myself, if you know what I mean. My Mum told me a long time ago, that he should always be the first fiddle in my orchestra, and I so understand that, but if you can SEE what has to be done, and nobody is there to help, what’s your choice?

Don’t misunderstand me! 

The team at Clarity fall over themselves to get orders picked, packed and sent. The front of house office team never stop answering the phones and trying to help people. The Design department work into the wee small hours to get plates and stamps and stencils moved through to production.

And production never stops!

But those are the physical tasks. There is so much more to running a good, ethical company than all that! 

And to be honest, there are times when I have felt quite isolated, trying to wade through all the other stuff.  

But things are changing – I can feel it. I am seeing that several of the young people who have worked at Clarity for a while are starting to take initiative and get proactive. They are coming up with good ideas – and executing them too. I can feel them growing into their positions and their roles, and it is very heartening – not to mention a great relief!

This competition, for example.

Steven at work asked me whether I thought this promotional competition would work, as a way of flagging up what is coming on the TV this weekend, as well as promoting our Facebook page.

I said yes, I did think it was a great idea. Steve asked if I would be up for a giveaway competition like this every time we have a One Day Special. I said yes. Stuart at work took the photos and the layout, and hey presto!
