Milestone for Moulton College
PDS’ Waldorf Astoria afternoon tea
DELIVERING LUXURY IN LOCKDOWN
A Wellingborough design and print management company has helped one of its hospitality clients to bring some joy to their customers in the shape of a luxury champagne afternoon tea delivered to their door during lockdown.
Agencypds, part of Print Data Solutions (PDS), designed, printed and produced the bespoke fourtiered cake stand that ensured the safe transportation of treats created by the talented pastry chefs at the Edinburgh Waldorf Astoria.
Olivia Ray, client services director for agencypds, said: “We are grateful to have been busy throughout the pandemic and our creative design team wanted to think of ways to enable other businesses to maintain their operations in difficult circumstances.
“We have also been designing a range of special gifts that organisations can send to their employees working from home to boost morale and help to enhance their wellbeing.”
The agencypds team is working hard to generate some ingenious design ideas for print, digital and packaging. PDS offers seamless access to expertise in print management, branded merchandise, and fulfilment and logistics services for projects that require extra support.
Olivia added: “We’d be delighted to hear from other businesses that might need help with ideas to keep their client base warm as we work to boost post-pandemic economic recovery.”

MILESTONE FOR MOULTON COLLEGE
Established in 1921 as the Institute for Agriculture, Moulton College has witnessed significant change over the past century and equipped thousands of students with essential workplace skills.
The college was a training centre for the Women’s Land Army and following the war has expanded its course offer from agriculture subjects to include animal welfare, construction and sport.
To celebrate its extensive and rich history, the college is calling for former students to share their stories, reconnect with old friends and learn about the college’s last 100 years.
Corrie Harris, principal and CEO of Moulton College said: “We’re so proud of the college’s incredible heritage, and its history is shaped by the stories of those who studied with us. We’d love to hear from those willing to share photographs and memories of their time at Moulton. There’s no better way for us to learn more about Moulton’s history than by speaking with those who experienced student life here.”
As part of the College’s 100-year celebrations, it is also relaunching its Alumni Association, which aims to inspire current and future students with the life stories of its previous students.
Corrie added: “All stories are important to us, so whether you graduated five years ago, or 50 we’d love to hear from you. Our Alumni Association is a platform to share your unique story, knowing that your experiences and memories at college and beyond will inspire the next generation.”

SHARING EXPERT KNOWLEDGE
Northamptonshire-based Poppy Design Studio has been helping businesses up and down the nation with its helpful and friendly free advice.
Marketing manager Simon Cox (pictured) has been sharing the team’s knowledge with small businesses via Zoom and telephone calls as well as writing interesting articles offering helpful information which have been featured in publications and online.
Alongside head designer and director Marie Baker, Simon has presented a number of ideas on marketing. Simultaneously, the firm’s After Care team, led by Nigel Baker, has helped new clients cut their existing hosting costs for their websites and email by moving them to Poppy Design Studio’s servers and has advised other companies about their hosting options.
Simon said: “We’ve been supporting businesses around the county as usual, however, we’ve also supported businesses further afield with friendly advice and support.
“Between us, we pulled together a number of tips and articles, which have been published nationally on the Enterprise Nation and Small Business Charter websites, to give guidance to small businesses across the country.
“In addition to this we’ve published our own helpful tips on our website which have received positive feedback from clients. We’re also offering our time, free of charge, to talk to businesses about their marketing as it’s a good time to look at all those projects that they can never normally find time to complete. We’re happy to talk to anyone who would like some advice on their websites, branding and connecting to their audience.”
