Teamwork like never before

Each year we close the office for a couple of days and go on a short cruise for our Christmas party.  Its a great way to say thanks to the staff for all the hard work, have some good food, dancing and experience a cruise as well. 

This year was no exception as we set off for Dover to join Fred. Olsens Balmoral. We set off at 9am from Redditch and by 1pm it was looking rather bleak that we would make it there on time.  The M27 was closed and lorries were stacked along it as the Channel Tunnel was closed. We diverted down the A2 in the hope that we may get there - but as we got closer all the traffic came to stand still.

We had a coach full of staff and they were determined to make it to the ship and have a Xmas party. So all got out and walked the 3 miles to the port.  All the lorry drivers encouraged the troops on as they pulled their luggage down the A2 and gave them way.  A few vechicles further along another Cruise Specialist were also heading to the ship for their party and they decided to join the walk.  At 5pm everyone made it to the ship. And the ship left at 6pm
