Hertfordshire and London – Mode Print Solutions, a leading supplier of digital print solutions, has hosted its prestigious Sales Awards Dinner on 3rd February 2017.

The star-studded event took place at Tewinbury Farm, Hertfordshire and brought together longstanding staff members, suppliers and key industry figures for a celebration and ceremony recognising employee talent.

Dinner was served to guests by a David Brent lookalike, whilst after-dinner entertainment came from a Marilyn Monroe lookalike and Latino dancers who taught attendees smooth moves on the dancefloor.

Among the array of awards up for grabs were Manager of the Year, Mode Top Sales Executive, Mode Academy Graduate, along with recognition awards for staff who have worked with the company for 10 and 20 years respectively.

The event was also attended by representatives from Blue Cross, Together for Short Lives and Marie Curie. Mode Print Solutions has a longstanding partnership with these charities and gives its new customers the choice of which organisation to support whenever a new deal is signed. Over £15,000 was donated throughout the night.

Rob Clarke, Chief Executive of Mode Print Solutions comments:

“Once again we’re thrilled to have hosted such a major event in recognition of the hard work, dedication and commitment of our staff. Our company has grown rapidly through harnessing the talents and skills of staff and this awards dinner allowed us to celebrate these achievements.”

“Mode was founded as a people-centric business, designed to offer exciting opportunities to our employees and world class services to our customers. That’s why we’re thrilled to have come together to recognise our people and their contribution to the company as we enter our 21^st year.”

It’s not often at Mode that we can say we are shooting moving targets! However, when it was time to discuss what we should do for our team day we knew we wanted to mix in some pure 80’s music and push the boundaries by trying our hand at Clay pigeon shooting!

We all boarded the Mode mini bus recently and headed to Hampshire!

Whilst we enjoyed a delicious team meal together we waited with anticipation for the 80’s band to begin so that we could enjoy dancing and boy did we dance!

As a fast moving business, it’s great to just stop and connect with our engineers and other team members who are always in the field and are not office-based because of the high level of service we offer our customers.

So on Saturday it was a very tired and achy Mode team that after a full English breakfast, headed off to try out Clay Pigeon shooting.

After some instruction, one being to definitely not get the urge to shoot each other, we all headed to the range to try and shoot some moving clays!

What struck us was how excellent we all were-however we must confess, the instructors were brilliant teachers. From our Chief executive right through to our recent new members in Client Support and our new IT Support Engineer, we all proved ourselves to be quite the marks people! Although we do have to add that perhaps one service engineer should stick to the day job, but we’ll keep who that was a secret!

Shooting in teams with people we may not necessarily talk to on a day to day basis or work with directly, meant that we were able to get to know each more, particularly the new team members and relax and have fun!

What is important to us though is spending some time together away from the day job, where our focus is of course our clients. However, spending this time together ultimately makes us a greater team for our clients because of our bond together.

A great night and day for the Mode team and one that will be repeated soon, maybe we should all take up Clay Pigeon shooting and start a Mode competitive team!
