Double Delight With AQA

Children In Need And A Look Forward Into 2016 With Austin’s Ices
January 18, 2016A Second Helping For ITV

Hot on the heels of our hugely successful repeat job for AQA, we at Austin’s Ices were thrilled when we recently received yet another call from a previous client. This time, it was broadcasting heavyweights ITV who were bringing us back for more!
Our first dealings with ITV took place back in August, right in the middle of the summer heatwave that we’re all currently looking back on with such nostalgia. It may not have lasted very long, but ITV – much like the rest of us – were keen to make the most of the sunshine while they could. The truth is that nobody really enjoys being chained to thier desk while the sun is beaming down outside, and ITV thought their hardworking team deserved a treat! So, not only did the staff get a chance to enjoy the glorious weather, they also had some sweet refreshment on hand (courtesy of us!) to help them cool of in the soaring temperatures. We sent one of our beautiful ice cream vans to their head office in the heart of MediaCityUK, and handed out a wonderful array of ice-creams and other delights.
It was a fantastic afternoon, thanks in part to the incredible location. Of course, MediaCityUK has all the sleek professionalism you would expect from one of the nation’s premier business parks. But the fact that it’s situated right on the water also makes for a truly stunning setting. Even as we were leaving, we were already crossing our fingers and wishing to be invited back soon!
Ultimately, we didn’t have to wait very long at all, because ITV contacted us again the very next month. We weren’t given much notice (they called around 9:00am and needed us there by 12:30 that same afternoon), but Austin’s Ices never miss an opportunity to bring a little fun and excitement to the working day! Thankfully, we were able to move a few things around, and we arrived in plenty of time, to find that ITV had really pushed the boat out. They’d hired a fish & chip van to provide everyone with a tasty lunch, followed by a lovely helping of Mr Whippy for dessert. Delicious!
ITV have been absolutely amazing to work with so far, on both occasions. Could the third time be the real charm? Here’s hoping!
