Happy New Year everyone, well I can’t believe that it is 2016<br />
already and it certainly feels like January has flown by with<br />
<strong>the</strong> amount of live delivery that has been going on.<br />
By <strong>the</strong> time you are reading this<br />
it will be <strong>February</strong> and I hope that<br />
those of you who set <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />
New Year’s resolutions have stuck<br />
to <strong>the</strong>m or at least pretended to.<br />
New Year’s resolutions have a<br />
long history. Apparently, <strong>the</strong><br />
Babylonians pledged to return<br />
borrowed objects and repay <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
debts at <strong>the</strong> start of each year,<br />
while <strong>the</strong> Romans kicked off<br />
January by making a vow to<br />
<strong>the</strong> god Janus (from whom<br />
<strong>the</strong> month takes its name).<br />
That’s centuries of potential<br />
for broken promises.<br />
So, if that’s you, don’t<br />
feel too bad about it –<br />
it’s in our genes!<br />
Top tips for succeeding with your<br />
resolutions and ‘fresholutions’<br />
are to make sure you have set<br />
yourself realistic goals, don’t set<br />
too many, keep track of your<br />
progress and don’t just forget<br />
about <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
All easier said <strong>the</strong>n done, I <strong>know</strong>,<br />
I do it every year and always get<br />
to <strong>February</strong> and think ‘never mind’,<br />
but this year I have promised<br />
myself to try harder…<br />
As I said, January has proved to<br />
be just as busy as expected with<br />
pitches landing for Allied Bakery<br />
among a number of exciting new<br />
business meetings, as well as live<br />
delivery on our inaugural<br />
automotive event for Hyundai,<br />
events for Mo<strong>the</strong>rcare, M&S,<br />
Dixons Carphone and NAS,
