October saw Portfolio team members Darren, Karen and Julia participate in the 2011 Timberland Serv-a-palooza event. Serv-a-palooza is Timberland’s annual community service initiative in which employees and partners throughout the globe take a day to make a positive and sustainable impact in their local communities.

Darren, Karen and Julia armed with waterproofs, wellington boots and other sharp gardening implements, got stuck into helping the local community in Wexham, Slough, by pruning and clearing a wooded area to restore a picturesque stream to its former glory.

I have been assured there are no pictures of Darren because he is too busy working hard off camera!!

Earlier this month fitness aficionado and Head of Creative Services Darren Clare took on his most challenging race yet the legendary Helvellyn triathlon.

Consisting of a gruelling sub zero 1 mile open water swim courtesy of Ullswater Lake, followed by a 38 mile cycle route through Kirkstone Pass and finishing with a 9 mile run over Helvellyn itself (Britain’s third largest peak at 3118ft high). The triathlon was a true test of mental and physical grit but Darren insists he had fun and ‘would most definitely do it again’ (really). Darren finished with a time of over 5 hours for all three stages, so well done Darren.

The problems caused by restricted materials being sold to those who are underage are well known. As well as the health and safety issues that can arise from young people getting hold of alcohol and cigarettes, obtaining such items can lead to incidents of anti social behaviour.

As a fully integrated design and marketing agency, Portfolio has already worked with a number of local authorities and trading standards associations to highlight the issues surrounding age-restricted sales.

Working with an impressive list of clients across the private and public sectors, we have extensive experience in the field of public health, producing creative, informative and effective campaigns for councils, NHS trusts, the Police and other related organisations.

Please have a quick flick through the presenter above to see some examples of our work.

This month has seen our very own Ms Debbie Green become Mrs Debbie Jones. After months of military grade planning (testing all of the account management skills and patience Debbie has attained over her career here at Portfolio) the big day went smoothly. Everybody was very excited and dug out their largest wedding hats, shiniest shoes and best ‘shapes’ for the big day in Formby. 

We hope you will join us in wishing Debbie and Andrew our sincerest congratulations and wish them the very best for the future.

Really unique footwear design from Timberland. Great idea. More here.

After a great day witnessing the wedding of Portfolio’s own Debbie Jones to her new husband Andy, the tradition of throwing the bouquet was a more exciting affair than usual. Christine, shoes removed and brimming with confidence, managed to wrestle her way to the front (past a small girl) and catch the lucky item. The first image (provided to us by Rick Healey courtesy of his iphone) showing the event taking place, the second image showing the joy it brought not only Christine but to Darren aswell. A classic moment captured.

This week has seen some national exposure for our client Grenade. The brand featured prominently on the Daily Mail website, championed by cage fighting Alex ‘The Detonator’ Reid and his latest beau Chantelle Houghton.
