This could be the last of these…..

Philip Porter, our Managing Director was 40 a couple of days ago.

Anyhow, not being one to miss an opportunity, I called Phil’s brother Nick and he called Mr Porter senior.

Well, Mr Porter went through the family albums and he found a couple of rather lovely and cute photos of his boy. He sent the photos up to Nick and we had a covert meeting in Green Park to hand over the ‘brown envelope’.


Very public, there were guards and coppers everywhere and it must have looked a bit odd, two blokes in a hand over… We had a little chuckle and skimmed through a dozen or so very flattering shots of our MD.

I just couldn’t decide on which one, some were group shots and I didn’t think it fair on others in the pictures, even though there was a great page boy shot. Anyhow, he had an interest in farming in his younger years, so the tractor is in fitting (it is an old shot, so apologies for the quality) and then the Porter grin and someone told me he’s still got that jumper….

Happy Birthday Phil !

There should be more postings soon, depending if I still have a job…..
