  2. Merry Christmas!

    So it’s that time of year, the decorations are up and the big day is nearly upon us! Here at the GR Marketing HQ in South Tyneside we’re extremely excited not only about having a fantastic Christmas away from work and gaining some much needed relaxation but looking forward to 2012 is just as exciting! We’re planning to officially make a name for ourselves in the North East next year and become a major player in the marketing industry through making ourselves completely different to any other marketing agency out there. More of that to come next year!

    For now, we have WON Jacqueline Gold’s ‘Teen on Tuesday’ award being selected from hundreds of Twitter entries Jacqueline (Head of Ann Summers) decided after browsing our website that we were 1 of 3 lucky winners chosen by her. She quoted: “Your company looks great and I sense that you are a very driven individual with a big career ahead of you. Well done Grant, I sincerely wish you all the very best, please keep in touch with your progress. Have a great Xmas.” Naturally, we’re delighted and look forward to keeping in contact with Jacqueline in the future!

    All that is left to say is Merry Christmas and have an amazing New Year! 

    Best Wishes,

    Grant Ridley (Managing Director)
