Ho Ho Have a Bathroom!!!

Welcome yet again to our weekly blog, Dovcorian- Lovers!!!

Well another week has flown by us, i can hardly believe it's the end of the week already!

Apart from Will having some highly important (however highly confidential, Dovcor eyes only!) meetings, and two HUUUGE deliveries worth some serious cashishta to Castlemede Homecraft and Boldon Bathroom and Tiles, 00Ryles and I have had a very tame week for once! Its quiet....toooo quiet...

We are aware that this doesn't exactly make good reading for any blogspotter, so I shall be filling you in with the goings on of the week then filling in the blanks with some awesome videos, including some brilliant youtube singers, our very first VIDEO OF THE WEEK and Fail! of the week.

Well, Will and I had our first ever after-work meeting (in McDonalds, where else!) on Tuesday, where many plans were formulated (not to take over the world though, i promise XD ) and I got down to startong AND finishing a soul-destroying 8 page marketing and advertisement report. Thats all for this week...

Just kidding!

Now, Dovcor bring you a Youtube sensation, that have been followed by yours truly for quite some time now! This link is to Justin and Michaels cover of Airoplanes/Brick by Boring Brick!

Now, for the grand unveiling of Andy McGuire's VIDEO OF THE WEEK!!!

This goes to 'How to Wrap a cat for Christmas' by MoreFlippyCat...congratulations...You've won a ROFLcopter!!!

And finally, our FAIL! of the week was a one of mixed Fail and Win, as if you watch closely, first is a clear Fail! and the second attempt, I'd say, was a clear win in distance, cudos on your epic technique, young man! I lol'd at it anyway, so enjoy.... Football Fail!

Well as allways, thank you for reading, SUBSCRIBE!! dont let this go to waste, or I'l hunt you down and spray water at you through a lovely Dovcor Speciosa Showerhead!!!

McGuire out!!!

Two weeks of fun!!

Howdy Folks, have you missed us?

I am aware that we have not posted a blog for over two weeks and you, as our adoring fans, will have pined for your weekly bathroom news!!

This week, the format of blog is changing slightly, its just going to be a speedy update of the general goings on over the last 2 weeks. 

Last week saw the return of our fearless leader, WILLIAM WALLACE!!! (guy whispers into my ear) ermmm... I mean Ryles, sorry, watched too much Braveheart this weekend, anyway, order was again restored to the Dovcorians and their head office after a week of snow! 

The week before last (while Will was soaking up the Spanish sun, probably with a hangover) PANIC was insuing in the Dovcor office!!!

I'm joking of course, the office was left in the more-than-capable hands of Howard and Mary, Wills parents. This was for the sole reason that they would be able to supervise Andy, and stop him single-handedly destroying Will's baby while he was away. The week ran smoother than expected, with no major problems bar a grumpy Andy to contend with.

Back to last week, or as it was named, 'R-day'. It was mildly busy last week (thanks to the snow!), and  between that and getting back up to speed, it kept Will on his toes. A good job too, bearing in mind one week he had been in 30+ degree heat, and the next he's chilling in the minuses, he needed to do something to keep him warm!!

So, back to normality this week then, so I must dash into the sunset on my Lion Jet-ski!!

You stay classy, and if I dont reply to all of your questions, remember I am just one, incredibly handsome man, and between talking to you, my internet friends, and Dovcor, I am also attempting to cure world hunger...so bear with me.

SEE YOU NEXT WEEEK!!! Andy xx

p.s. our videos of the week were brilliance, hand selected by me, the handsome apprentice, heres a taster with Monday's facebook video of the week!!!  http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=484F058C3EAF7FA6

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!!!!
