As the time flies....


There are three words to describe this week, busy, busy, and busy!

We have sent stock far and wide this week with Andrew seemingly spending his days down in the warehouse.
While the rest of the country was talking about the royal engagement, the Dovcor office was a mad house of paperwork and bubble wrap as we tried to get stock delivered within our 24 hour target. The record so far is a Tolima 600 white gloss unit plus basin delivered in under 20 hours from order point!

While the team focused on providing excellent service, Will took the opportunity to teach some uni students from Newcastle how to write a business plan and then talk to a group of business students from Framwellgate School about why he started Dovcor! If you would like will to do a speech or teach a class at any time of the day it seems he is only happy to say yes! 

Now apart from attending two very good muscle clubs and being privileged to see the Movember attempts of extraordinary photography and NEmoney, could our week have got more exciting?

YES!! On Thursday, Dovcor.com was hacked! Some miscreant took it upon themselves to hack the admin section of the website (not storage, as this is a third party) and change a few photos. Luckily we are back to normal, but website security has been beefed up!

That rounds off another week at Dovcor HQ, heres hoping for an even busier one next week.
You stay classy, Dovcor fans…

How The Time Flies...

As the first frosts of winder descend upon us, and we have our first tiny burst of snow, the Dovcor team were once again hard at work. Doing what they do best, saving bathroom standards everywhere!

Monday and Tuesday were pretty uneventful days, as the designs for the brochure were finalized and little Andy learned more about time management, and eating Will's Angel cakes without getting caught.

Wednesday, however, was a busy day for young Andy. He attended and assisted with the handing out of welcome packs for the North East Expo at Gosforth Racecourse, Newcastle. As well as getting loads of freebies, Andy said he thoroughly enjoyed his experience at the Expo, and cant wait until the next one.

Thursday was slightly more eventful again. We heard that our new Oena range baths had finally hit the shores of england!! This invasion of high quality baths is defiantly tipped to be more successful than previous invasions from people such as the Roman army, or the Vikings!!

Finally, Friday was the day the brochure was finally ready for printing! Exciting news for us indeed, and Andy finally got his pretty little Dovcor uniform (awwwwwwwwwwww!).

Well we hope youve enjoyed your visit, and for now, thats all from me (and thats all from him), see you next week!!

Week 3!!

The Sun was (partially) shining, and week 3 begins, and an average week at most for the working stiffs at Dovcor. However, Andy was a buzy bee this week, travelling too and fro!

Monday to Wednesday was mainly marketing and website work, as Andy recieved various different drafts of our brand new home page! each one more spectacular than the next.

Alex popped up from Red Maple, and aggreed to relieve Will of babysitting duty and take Andy to learn about marketing for Wedesday afternoon! She taught him some fantastic techniques, that can assist him with Dovcors marketing in the future (so she can do less work)!!

Thursday was a big day for Andy, as he sent out his first delivery by himself (well done Andy), and Will whent to another BNI meeting, and arranged to take Andy to one on Friday.

Finally Friday, Will took Andy to his first BNI meeting, of which Andy was incredibly nervous! friday as well as being a day of firsts, was also hopefully a day of lasts, last ammendments to projects that is. Howard dropped by to ammend the codes in the new Brochure plans, and Andy was sent the last draft of the website page, and it was given the go for launch!

Well thats all for this week, so in the words of Mr. Springer, 'Take care of yourselves, and each other' , see you next week!!!!
