That’s because Partner, Helen Haynes, tries to make April a bit special for every member of the team by nipping into town and buying them an Easter egg!
“It’s something we have done for years,” she said “because half the staff are parents and most of them used to complain that they spent the Easter weekend buying chocolate treats for their children but rarely got any gifts themselves.
“I resolved to put it right and started getting everyone an Easter egg but, as the team has grown, I feel sure that in future years I may well have to take a pack horse into town to bring my sugary load back to the office!
“Without exception, most of the HBPW team are eggstatic by my annual gesture, and we’re hoping that other companies will now start to follow our eggsample. Forgetting key people at Easter, just because they are so-called ‘adults’, is no yoke.”
But, be warned, you have to be in the office on ‘egg distribution day’ otherwise there’s no guarantee that the resident chocoholics will not quickly polish off any uncollected Easter egg ‘spares’!
