Our Friends at Hobsons….
June 10, 2009
Nothing to do with marketing – but I always think that if you are impressed with a business associate – you should blow their trumpet!
This is the case with our friends at Hobsons in Nottingham who act as our accountants (but are also business advisors and have a financial services arm). We took their advice from the start when we set up in the summer of 2002 and they have been close to the dairy ever since.
Their friendly and professional help was in evidence last night at a meeting with Steve Checkley – tax partner. We have had an issue recently that needed sorting and was troubling me somewhat. Steve, together with our day to day contact, the unflapable Juliet Winter, was able to sort it in a logical and calm manner and then make me understand it! Very impressive…. Nige

Phoenix Square Web Site Launched
June 4, 2009
The dairy revealed its first work for the inspirational live/work building in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter – Phoenix Square.
Working with client Blueprint Regeneration and marketing consultant Sharon Stevens Cash, the agency has created two web sites – one for the 63 individually designed apartments and one for the 7 studio work spaces within the building.
Both are heavily influenced by the young and exciting lifestyle that is available in this part of Leicester and are designed to work alongside the Phoenix Cinema and Gallery that will also occupy the building.
The show apartment is open now – so go and take a look – it really is a fantastic building. Take a look at the sites below……

Dairy doesn’t do Culture!
May 6, 2009
Well, quite a change from the Royal Philharmonic last week…. Having two daughters under ten years of age has plenty of ups and some downs. I thought last night was going to be one of the latter – a visit to Nottingham’s Theatre Royal to see High School the Musical! After forgetting to take a good book to read, I have to say – I quite got into it. The performers were fantastic and the whole crowd got behind it singing along, clapping and waving pom poms! I shan’t be repeating the experience any time soon but came away with a big smile on my face and two very happy daughters…. Nige
Dairy does Culture
April 29, 2009
How nice to be invited out by a client!
Last night Mrs. Dairy and I went to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham as a guest of Nottingham City Transport to a concert by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the Nottingham Classics season. Mrs D played the cello to some sort of high level as a youngster so was quite at home – but for us more used to rugby matches and beer it was quite a shock to the system. A very nice one though.
Some Berlioz and Ravel followed by excerpts from Prokofievs’ Romeo and Juliet went down very nicely thank you very much. Time to tune the dairy radio from Radio 6 to Classic FM I think!
