Here's One for the Album!

The Surrey Business Awards have kindly sent us a photo of Ian and Jo receiving a certificate confirming FIBRECRAFTS place as a finalist for the Small Business Award.


Jo first began working for Fibrecrafts as a picker and packer. Nine years on, she is now Sales Manager and responsible for the smooth running of the sales department and dispatch. Thanks to Jo, the team runs like clock-work to deliver your orders within 24 hours.

Pics and Cake

Here is a photograph we had taken today in readiness for the Surrey Business Awards!


We are almost complete except for Howard who wasn't working today (click here to meet the team and to see Howard's pic). The photograph includes (back row) Allison, Susan, Ruth, Jo, Julie, Ian, (front row) Sharon, Dave and Sylvia.

Sylvia retired two years ago after working for Fibrecrafts for more than 15 years. She still maintains a welcome link by performing the role of 'House Mother' which involves providing us with essential supplies.

Sylvia also keeps a close eye on the Birthday Diary which triggers the delights of tea-time chocolate cake. Todays tea-time chocolate cake was eagerly received by Ian who is celebrating his 21st birthday today - for the 45th time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The new year of 2008 has tip-toed in behind the hustle and bustle of Christmas and brings with it the promise of resolution.

Wikipedia defines it as 'a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous.'

Whatever it is that you have decided to commit to or change, the staff here at Fibrecrafts take this opportunity to wish you every success and happiness for the coming year

A Christmas Tree! A Christmas Tree!

A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
With dark green needled memories
Of childhood dreams and mysteries
Wrapped present-like in front of me.

A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
I glimpse a past wherein i see
The child that then grew into me
Not forward fast but haltingly.

A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
A time for being with family
A time that's gone so fleetingly
Yet lives for always deep in me.

A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
When twelfth night comes whole hauntingly
One lingered look and then i see
No Christmas tree where it would be.

A Christmas tree! A Christmas tree!
With feelings now felt longingly
No corner in my house to see
The magic of that Christmas tree.

And here is our tree at FIBRECRAFTS surrounded by some of the many Christmas cards we have received! Thank you all for your festive messages.

We should have taken the photo a couple of days ago when we still had the 'Secret Santa' presents underneath it. They've all been given out now (as has the wine!) and we've eaten all the mince pies. We're in the spirit and hope you are too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
