Dateline Monday 1st June 2026
Good morning lovely people of the conference and incentive industry I hope you are well. My first question is “have you missed my Monday morning e mail update?” Last Monday I was due to send you an e mail, but it was Bank Holiday or Bank Swelter day, even Bank Boiling Day perhaps, please don’t get me wrong I simply love, love, love, the heat so I was a very happy bunny. Even though it was bank holiday I was in my MM and Company office very early for some of the day as a lot

Happy May, I hope you are well and that you have had an extraordinary two weeks since I last chatted to you Let’s start with the weather well that’s the law is it not. the weather in my book has been close to dreadful, but it is fair to say dry, yes dry and dreadful.

Happy SPRING Monday morning I hope you are fit and well and that you had a terrific weekend. To be honest I missed chatting to you last week, but I think the decision taken of reducing the Monday morning e mail to twice a month is a good idea. One of my regular readers sent a lovely e mail THANK YOU Yvonne saying only twice a month is simply not good enough, sorry Yvonne. Spring came into its own last week, we are having a few nice sunny, warm days although we must not be l
