Dragon’s love a Fresh Egg

09/03/09 in News by Dan Clarke | 1 Comment Comments

No this is not the story off a dragon eating a fresh Egg but very similar!

James Caan one of the Dragons in the Den has become Chairman of Fresh Egg, A Web Design and Marketing Company based in Worthing West Sussex…

You may be thinking why is that on our blog… well one reason is that we catered for James at his house in London before Christmas and the other reason is that Adam Stafford MD of Fresh Egg is also a Director of Red Anywhere!

We wish Adam, Pip, Lee and all the team at Fresh Egg the continued success they deserve… exciting times ahead… and remember guys happy to do office lunches for you! only if Mr Caan is a guest!

Well Done from all the team at Red Anywhere!

Master Chef… is this good for the industry?

02/03/09 in News by Dan Clarke | 3 Comments Comments

Last Friday the winner of Master Chef 2009 was crowned and well done to Matt… I picked him in the early stages and thought that he would take the Title!

The question I ask,  Is this programme good or bad for the industry? one of the reasons I ask is because I am a Master Chef of Great Britain and I often get asked “was it good on TV”, “What’s Greg and John like?” I always reply I have no Idea!

Sussex Wedding Venues… Hand Picked!

Sussex Wedding Venues

After a year in the role as operations director one of my responsibilities is to look and find new venues! I now feel sufficiently experienced to share my opinion on the various wedding venues in Sussex. The trend nowadays seems to be steering away from the traditional Church wedding with Hotel reception, people now seem to opt for a civil ceremony & reception under one roof.

Detailed below are three of my favourites which meet these criteria and cover all corners of the Sussex countryside:

The Perfect Valentine’s Day Proposal…

19/02/09 in General, News by Dan Clarke | No Comments Comments

Valentine’s Day Proposal!!

Where you asked the question on the most romantic night of the year? How did it go? Was it as romantic as you imagined it to be? Or…Was it you who popped the question? Why don’t you tell us about your Valentine’s Day and see if you can beat the following proposal story…..

Brace yourselves for the most romantic proposal I have ever heard, bearing in mind I hear a lot in this line of work!!

Imagine waking up to a little note and rose on your pillow and in the note is a cryptic clue, once the clue is cracked then it leads you to the next special place that means something to you and your partner…this is the story of how my best friend’s boyfriend proposed to her on valentine’s night.

My friend, Lucy then went to the next location after she broke the next cryptic clue which her boyfriend had personally devised for her. At each location throughout the day she had someone meet her there holding a coloured rose flower, the rose was a different colour and meant something different at each of her stops. She started to get suspicious but soon realised that this was her 2 year ‘anniversary’ with her boyfriend so little did she know what was to come.

Whilst she was out, her boyfriend (soon to be fiancé) had been back to their apartment, collected all her make-up, underwear, shoes and Ball gown and had it waiting for her at her parents’ house…this was the last stop. Waiting here was her ball gown laid out on her bed with a crossword puzzle that spelt the location where she was to meet him. So she got herself all dolled up and ready to go and went to meet her boyfriend…he was standing outside the restaurant in his tuxedo waiting for her to arrive.

They then began their meal and went through to dessert which was strawberries and Cream with a sugar nest over the top, she broke inside this and there was the ring! Yes…he did get down on one knee in the middle of the restaurant and he had organised for the waiters to come over with a bottle of their most expensive champagne. Obviously she said ‘Yes’!

To top it all off…after the meal he had organised a taxi to take them to the next venue where he had organised all her family, friends and colleagues to be there waiting for their engagement party!!

WOW…..Better get your act together boys!!!

Beat that then! I’m waiting to hear your stories….
