At the end of August we treated ourselves and the children to a 2 week holiday in Ibiza. It was absolute bliss - great weather, great company, and a great time all round. For the first week we forced ourselves to not even mention the business, and to relax, which we did. We relaxed so much that we couldn't be bothered to even think about home in the second week and had to be dragged onto the plane to come back.
We've been back about 2 weeks and it seems like forever ago, why is that with holidays?! You spend a load of money on it and lots of time looking forward to it, just for it to dwindle into the back of your memory for a rainy wistful day once it's over?
So now we're back with a vengeance. This is the year when all other things can wait, and it's Funky Wood's year. I've been to UKTI this morning to investigate exporting to Dubai, Qatar, and Saudia Arabia. I'm looking at all high growth economies, including Brazil and India. I'm looking for places where they have a lot of money to spend on construction. I'm probably going to join the passport to export programme next year so that means the next few months are all about doing as much research as I possibly can, so that I can get maximum use out of the programme.
I'm going to Italy in a couple of weeks to speak to someone about a really exciting new product which we're going to be launching. I'll let you know more really soon.
Eddie's working on prototypes for new doors and a new skirting board profile.
We're also taking on an apprentice! Shaun Woodhead will be joining the Funky Wood team over the next couple of weeks. Shaun has a really great attitude, a willingness to learn, and I'm sure he is going to be a great success as Funky Wood grows.
That's all for the moment but things are moving really quite fast these days, I could really use one of those 2 week holidays in Ibiza.....
