Work

Access got in the spirit on Friday by wearing red to work, in an attempt to support Comic Relief. We had red everything from red lips to red legs. Our in house chef? Mia made a beautiful apple, raspberry and banana cake for the occasion, with a dash of hot custard to finish. As no one can resist a spot of cake in the office it was finished within minutes! We raised £42 for Comic Relief and we had some fun doing so.

Is A for…Alphabet? Or Access? Or Accomplished? Or even Adorable?

A is in fact just one of the giant orange letters that we have scattered around our office.

The GARGANTUAN letters became surplus to requirements after we had successfully completed a shoot for one of our clients.  The photo shoot was to promote a new scheme funded by the Welsh Assembly Government for their “Enhanced Leadership and Management Skills Programme” which helps improve the skills of managers and their workforce in businesses throughout Wales.

The shoot featured 3 workers intertwined in the GIANT letters which spelled out the words “Enhance” and “Gwella” (for all you non welsh speakers Gwella is welsh for Enhance).

After the shoot was over, we were left with 13 lovingly crafted GIGANTIC letters that needed a home.

So, what were we supposed to do with them?

Use them as part of the office decor of course!!

Simon poses with the letter E, Little Mark isn't so little anymore and Helen perches on the letter H!

The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) wanted to create a powerful regional TV campaign to get people talking about gender discrimination and highlight the problems of going ‘one step too far’. Access have produced 2 x 30’ commercials, a series of outdoor ads and website visuals for www.onesteptoofar.org

The shoot went without a hitch and the campaign is due to air in Wales in June.
