Christmas caption competition: Win a bottle of champagne

 
AS I don't feature on this picture but the rest of the Passionate Media team do, I thought it was a good idea to appeal for worthy captions.

The picture shows (left to right, front row) Katie Love from Compton Hospice, Santa otherwise known as Neil Aitchison, Julie Metcalfe, Aqueous Graphics. Back row:  Kim Nash, Carol Garrington and Helen Moffat.

Santa looks very pleased with himself, and his beard appears to have gone a bit wonky. He donned his red suit to raise cash for Compton's Raise the Roof appeal.

Tell us what you think a caption for this photo should say and we'll pick a winner on January 5 and supply a bottle of champagne. Perhaps you could take Santa's glee as your inspiration or perhaps you could say something connected with the classy cowboy hats.

If you want to check out more adventurous prizes, see my latest posts on Ready for Ten where you can win family tickets to the acclaimed RSC production of Matlida or a holiday for two adults and two children at a Sheraton Hotel in Majorca, with travel and insurance included.

Thank you to everyone who has helped our team in 2010 and Happy Christmas.

Linda scoops business award

By Carol Garrington

PASSIONATE Media director Linda Jones was awarded Highly Commended in the Women in Business category at a recent glitzy awards ceremony at Villa Park celebrating the best in Midlands enterprise.

I nominated Linda for starting the company to work around her children and seeing it grow to welcome four more people to the team. Now our children are approaching their teenage years, our company has developed into a respected and trusted established agency which takes great pride in working with some wonderful clients. 

Since starting the company in 2003, Linda has worked hard to ensure our team, which now includes Linda's partner Neil, can benefit from genuinely flexible working arrangements to help them find a positive work-life balance.
