Good Things Come in Threes


Whoever said that bad things come in threes obviously never worked at our Bridgehead site! We’ve got a trio of happy announcements to share with you, each of which will surely bring a smile to your face.

Amy Nouvellon (pictured above) is an artworker who married her “chubby hubby” Monsieur Emilio Nouvellon on Saturday 14th September at the Guildhall, followed by a tour through the city’s most historic streets via the Hull Land Train and a fantastic reception at Humber Street Gallery.

“We had an amazing day, but both agreed we wouldn't want to do it again considering the original plan was to elope,” says Amy. “Nevertheless, it was everything we wanted it to be and we put our own spin on the day, plus ‘I'm married’ has become my new catchphrase at work.”

She tells us that the wedding night was one to remember, with Emilio enjoying the bar so much that he couldn't even make it to the hotel: “Although, I did enjoy having that huge bed all to myself and would go as far to say that was the best part of my day,” Amy jokes (we hope).

“All in all, it was a fab day and we're living the married life dream!”

Meanwhile, the colleagues of reprographic artworker Kate Houlton were over the moon when they heard that she’s expecting her first child, due on 21st May 2020.

“We don't know if it's a boy or girl, as we’re leaving it to be a surprise,” says Kate. “I’m preparing for the little one by gradually buying bits and pieces here and there. Who knew a tiny little baby would need so many things?”

And then we have Karen Robinson, a project manager whose partner recently popped the question: “His name is Shane and we’ve only been together for 17 months but quickly fell in love. We moved in together in September of this year and now we’re engaged!”

“We’d spoken about getting married not long ago. Then, whilst I was in the USA to see my best friend, he visited my parents to ask their permission and bought a ring (which may I add is absolutely stunning). When I got back home he took me away as a surprise to the Hideout Hotel next to Hull Minster and over to Al Porto on the marina, where he proposed in the traditional manner of getting down on one knee. It was all very romantic and made me one very happy lady.”

Karen and Shane are hoping to get married in 2021 and the preparations have already begun.

We’re so happy to hear this triple-whammy of wonderful news and wish Amy, Kate and Karen all the best for the future.

Apprentices Hand Over Donations to HHCP

Image
SGS Packaging Europe has three busy offices in Hull, with a combined workforce of around 500 specialists. To reflect its commitment to high-quality training, in 2018 it launched its apprenticeship programme, presenting an exciting way to enter the industry and begin a fulfilling career. There are currently 16 apprentices working at SGS offices in The Maltings and Bridgehead Business Park. Alongside in-house training, one-to-one mentoring and regular development days, they have also been given ownership over a series of community projects taking place throughout 2019. Ranging from fundraising activities to hands-on community support, the four chosen charities benefitting from this are Hull Homeless Community Project (HHCP), Yorkshire Cancer Research, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Aaron’s Battle. Since early February, the SGS apprentices have been encouraging their colleagues to donate everyday items to collection bins that were placed in the canteens on bo

Managers Receive Expert Mental Health Training from Mind

Image
According to research carried out by Mind, there’s a culture of fear and silence around mental health that affects employees and businesses throughout the UK. With 21% of workers saying that they have called in sick as a result of workplace stress, 30% disagreeing that they would feel able to talk openly with their line manager about it, and a staggering 56% of employers saying they would like to do more to improve staff wellbeing but don't feel they have the right training or guidance, it’s clear that significant change is required. That’s why we’ve recently started a strong partnership with Mind to deliver first-rate mental health awareness training to our managers and team leaders. We believe that this is not only a responsible way of ensuring that our colleagues feel confident enough to discuss any qualms, but also gives them a safe and reassuring working environment in which they can develop skill sets and enhance their careers.
