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.

Diadeis and Bridgehead Support Orphans in Mauritius

We’re very excited to share news about a wonderful collaborative project between Bridgehead and our Diadeis team. Together they’re helping to raise funds and make improvements to an orphanage in Mauritius that’s home to dozens of abandoned children. Laura Crosby and Vicky Skelton from Bridgehead and Daniel Deverell from The Maltings (both based in Hull) are currently working on secondments in our Diadeis office in Mauritius. Whilst there they heard about an organisation, SOS Children’s Villages, which was asking for 100 volunteers to help paint the homes in a local orphanage. There are two SOS Children's Villages in Mauritius that care for around 113 abandoned and parentless children; this project focused on the one in Beau Bassin, which was established in 1992. Designed with attractive Créole architecture and situated close to the Balfour Garden, it’s an excellent arrangement that consists of nine family houses with the capacity to accommodate around 150 c

Apprentices Hand Over Donations to HHCP

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

Supporting Hull Homeless Community Project

Image
This year our apprentices in The Maltings and Bridgehead have chosen four charities that will benefit from fundraising activities, volunteering sessions and brand advocacy: Hull Homeless Community Project (HHCP), Yorkshire Cancer Research, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Aaron's Battle. The first community project for HHCP began on Monday 4th February, with the apprentices placing collection bins in the canteens and encouraging all of their colleagues to donate essential items. To make this easier for everyone, they recommended that fellow employees add one extra item to their basket or trolley each time they go shopping. This way it has minimal effect on the weight of the groceries and the total of the bill, yet it has an enormous positive impact to how the charity operates. These items will be used by HHCP as part of its Move On project, which helps individuals and families who have been victims of homelessness to transition into independent living. The HHCP team starts w
