Monthly Maclagan Outing

Full up after our nosh

It’s just nice to get out of the office as a team and spend the day chatting and generally having a good time. It’s also nice to go for a meal together and talk about the business, new ideas or just have a laugh.

Each month one of us will choose where we go and book the restaurant. So far we’ve been to Shrewsbury, Litchfield, Stratford and Liverpool. This time it was Rachel’s turn and we found ourselves in Chester. While Ross, Glyn, Jamie and myself went for a walk around the walls, Rachel and Alison snook off for a spot of shopping. I quite like Chester it’s got posh shops and lots of stuff to look at. The trouble is it’s right on the tourist trek so it gets really busy which really bugs me. Still this also means the food is pretty good.

Rachel chose Che Gerrad - a french restraunt and my Turkey escalope was pretty dam fine. I’m looking forward to my Birthday though because I will be returning to the Grosvenor for a slap up dinner and then I’m going to get me some smellys from Penhalagons.

The designer weighs in…

Hi there!

If you’ve come here from our main site then thanks for dropping by and, on behalf of us all here at TMM, I hope your visit has been informative and sparked your imagination. If you’ve come here direct then pop on over to the main site at themmen.co.uk and have a look around and see what we can offer you.

Currently the site’s still in beta as internally we finalise and fine-tune. We’ll be announcing the official public testing and launch very soon, but all comments are welcome so please drop us a line or post anonymously via our beta feedback form.

Thanks again for visiting and check back soon (RSS feed on their way for those who want it). We’re on Twitter any minute as well so there’s plenty of channels to keep an eye on us and stay up-to-date with all the goings-on with The Maclagan Men.

Goodbye, until the next time…

More new authors, more new posts!

Blogging is a great way of keeping people informed as to what is going on in your company. It gives potential clients a way of getting to know some of the minds behind the company and who they might be dealing with. It also lets competitors know what’s going on (they’re all nosy buggers!), and anyone else who is interested can find out all about you through your blog!
Sometimes I’m not sure this is a good thing, but better communication between people broadens our horizons and can make the world a better place, one blog/tweet/facebook-notification-update* at a time!
Enough of the sentimentality, I’m off!

*There must be a better name for this, but I’ll be damned if I know what it is! I’m calling them “Fnu’s” from now on!

Getting used to Blogging

I heard about them, I’ve read about them but this is the first time I’ve started to write one. Part of me feels like ‘What’s the point?’ but they laughed at the invention of the telephone and said the same thing. So we have to embrace new means of communication and I’m certainly going o give it a shot. I’ve even got a maclagan Twitter going so lets see how that works out. Ross has also set up a Maclagan facebook. Out of the 3- Blog, Twitter, Facebook one will triumph! Thats if I find enough time to write in them all!

Our New Web Site

It’s great to see our new website starting to take shape. But as usual trying to get to grips with all of the features that Ross has included is always a challenge for me. Like for instance this first stab at the blog. Here goes…
