Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

One in a Million

I would like to credit this blog to someone who I believe deserves it. There are few people in this world that you can really say are a lovely person. An honest person who takes pleasure in helping and making others happy. Well we have the pleasure of one of them here in the Pantiles, Tunbridge wells.

You may have heard of the heavy snow fall we had during December. Almost a foot of snow reached us in only a few days and stayed around for a while. This of course caused chaos, people fleeing from work half way through the day trying to get home before they were stuck. Amongst all this we had someone who was looking out for us making sure everyone had half a chance to get home. I ran to my car and Frank the car park attendant was digging the cars out and brushing the snow of the windscreens. He is such a happy, cheeky chappy. He always wishes you good morning and cracks a light hearted joke to make you smile before you start work. There he was working until the last hours jump starting cars and helping anyone he could. After a few days of him being our saviour I asked him why he did it, his response was “I like my job, why not help someone and make them happy. Because of my job I can help someone get home to their family, that’s got to be worth it hay.”

It’s really refreshing to hear such genuine kindness and consideration. So from me, a regular patron, thank you very much Frank. Hopefully all your kindness will one day be repaid.
