Welcoming Colleagues to Our New Branch at MediaCityUK



Last November we announced some exciting news from our Bridgehead office in Hull. As an early Christmas present, we’d won the Coca-Cola account in Europe and our colleagues made sure to celebrate in style by putting up branded decorations, treating themselves to cupcakes topped with jelly cola bottles, and of course drinking plenty of everyone’s favourite fizzy drink. They were also visited by the customer, who shared some insight into the brand and why we were the right company for the job. It really was a fantastic event and a huge achievement for the company as a whole.

A few months later, in April we were shouting about our new office that would soon open at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays. This location marks the beginning of another exciting chapter for SGS Packaging Europe as we continue to make investments across our ever-growing network.

Now that the new office is up and running, with a specialist team dedicated to the Coca-Cola Europe account, we made our new colleagues feel at home by putting together some welcome packs. A collaboration between us and the customer, these packs included a pen, coaster, notebook, mug and water bottle that proudly display the company logos (pictured above).

This highly creative and experienced team is mainly based in MediaCityUK, with some additional staff in other SGS offices across the UK and Europe. Together they’re ensuring that Coca-Cola receives the attention to detail, innovation and passion that our company applies to every single job that we take on.

If you’ve never been to MediaCityUK, you really should pay a visit. An international hub for technology, innovation and creativity, it’s home to huge organisations such as the BBC, ITV, Ericsson and Kellogg’s, which are joined by over 250 smaller businesses that are changing the worlds of media, retail and tech. Shaped around collaboration, sustainability and agile working, this incredible hotspot overlooks the Manchester Ship Canal and is surrounded by eateries, cultural attractions and beautiful scenery.

Having an office here is amazing in itself, but what makes it even more exciting is that MediaCityUK offers access to advanced technology at The Landing. This is a state-of-the-art centre that contains studios, labs, a screening room and conference facilities, providing businesses with the tools they need to further develop the fascinating sectors of digital health, Smart Cities and the Internet of Things.

Being part of this impressive community is a real asset to SGS, perfectly complementing our mission to help brands own every moment when a consumer’s interest can be converted into action.

We’ll definitely have more news to share regarding this major milestone, so keep up to date with all things SGS Packaging Europe by regularly checking this blog and also following us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Help Bridgehead to Collect Stamps for Charity

SGS Packaging Europe’s many offices are constantly thinking up great ways to support local and national charities. From marathons to bake sales, barely a day goes by when there isn’t something interesting going on in aid of a worthy cause. Right now our Bridgehead office is  collaborating with an associate  at Keyzo IT Solutions  to collect used stamps . The Kiloware Stamp Appeal is in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice in Scunthorpe, which provides high-quality palliative care to people who need it most. Kiloware is a term for large quantities of postage stamps, with the word adopted for charitable collections by Blue Peter many years ago. Events like this take place across the world all year round, but especially during the Christmas period. The Bridgehead office recently supported Dove House Hospice in Hull through It's a Knock Out, an enormous inflatable assault course, raising over £740. This time they’ve decided to help a similar charity ...

Colleagues Share Photos of Their Lockdown Pups

Image
A few of our colleagues at SGS Bridgehead have recently welcomed furry additions to their households. We caught up with Charly, Adam and Emma to find out more about their lockdown pups. Charly Marritt‘s new puppy is Albert, a German Shepherd crossed with a husky. Now ten months old, Albert moved into Charly’s home on the 7th of April. “We've always wanted a dog,” says Charly. “When our housemates moved out with their pooch we had a browse online and we just couldn't say no to the pictures of him. When we visited we made our decision there and then!” Charly says that the best thing about been in lockdown with a dog is that there’s something else to focus on, such as the extra walks and exercise, and of course the cuddles. Apparently, Albert doesn’t realise how big he is and you never have to ask twice for him to get up on the sofa. Albert was adopted from his third home. His original owner had him and his brother but unfortunately couldn't look after the...
