Boris the Baby Bat Bombs in on the KDM Team

August 2011

Wikipedia tells us that bats are the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight – but Boris the baby Bat would beg to differ; flying doesn’t come naturally to him at all :(
Boris the baby Bat

He landed on the floor of the M D’s office at KDM’s head office in Trentham sometime on Wednesday night and was found awaiting rescue on Thursday morning by Kevin.  Boris – named following a pretty biased vote comprising a fully inclusive electorate of Accounts Supremo Maria and no-one else – spent the next few hours in a makeshift bat house, carefully constructed by the ever thoughtful Maria. He found comfort in a duster and sipped from a tea spoon until the whole team had to say our final goodbyes when Suzanne, a Bat Carer with the Bat Conservation Society flew in to take him to the Bat Hospital where he will be fed on bugs, taught to fly and be cared for until he is fighting fit when he will be returned to Trentham to play once again with his Bat Mates.

While Boris is recovering, plans for his return are already in motion, as corporate entertainment experts we can’t resist the opportunity to plan a welcome home party – the Bat Man, Robin and Bat Lady costumes are on order, the champagne is on ice … Gotham City here we come!


Corporate Event Thank-you!

October 2010

Feedback from our clients is always very welcome but I was really pleased when Sarah Fitz received this email from our client – the Personal Assistant to the Finance Director of one of the UK’s major food wholesalers following our organising of their corporate event. Why was I so pleased? – because it compliments us succinctly about the area we care about most passionately – our people and the quality of good, personal service they give to all of our clients.

Well done guys.

“Sarah,

Thanks again for all the work that you did for us on the run up to the booking.
Also a big thanks on behalf of all the team – the night was a great success!

Darren organised the evening brilliantly and was a great asset to your business.
Please send him our thanks as well.

I look forward to speaking to you next summer!

All the best,

Rachel”
