What a fantastic press event at The National Gallery! We enjoyed an exclusive out-of-hours tour led by an art historian, who guided us through iconic and inspiring artworks while sharing insights into the creative process of great artists. An exciting hard-hat tour of the gallery's new spaces -including the new and improved Sainsbury Wing and brand new Supporters House - added to the experience. These upcoming flexible spaces, set to open in May 2025, will provide the perfect environment to inspire creativity and host exceptional events. Thank you for such a great event Clare Arouche Helena Fitzgerald Kalwinder Bhogal Custard Marja-Leena Toseland Susie Harwood Bob Toovey Iain Stirling Sally Trelford Manuel A.

Simone celebrates three years at Custard this week! The top three things she has learned in three years at Custard are: 1. Multitasking is a lifestyle: PR is one of the few places where ‘spinning plates’ is both figurative and sometimes literal. Crisis call while eating lunch, emailing a journalist and brainstorming with the team? No problem! 2. Creativity on cue: Nothing is quite like the thrill of coming up with a great idea in the nick of time. 3. Team bonding: Nothing unites a team quite like brainstorming the perfect headline whilst remembering that not everything is ‘revolutionary’. We laugh, we cry, we rewrite! Some fun facts about Simone from her fellow Custards: ▶ She is effortlessly stylish ▶ Rarely seen without her daily green smoothie ▶ Has some jaw-dropping celebrity stories from her TV, publicist and make-up artist days ▶ Hidden talents – she sings! #Hospitality #PR #HospitalityIndustry

Custard turns 17 today! Petra Clayton, CEO of Custard has shared some thoughts on this years birthday 🚙 #PRAgency #Hospitality
Today, Custard turns 17. I had a think this morning on a walk to the coffee shop about what 17 stands for and what clever post I could compose. 17 years for an anniversary means furniture - so something about design, standing still, changing, being comfortable? Not sure. But then I thought of the three words every 17 year old knows (or most do anyway). Mirror, signal, manoeuvre. That first driving lesson has many great memories for me as it was the beginning of being able to get from A to B on my own and fast! If I apply those three words to running a business, they certainly seems apt. Mirror: Not a fan of looking behind, I still think it's important to see what's coming up fast in the mirror - who is behind you and about to overtake? What did you leave behind? Where have you been? Signal: Critical internally. It's vital to ensure the people you work with know exactly what you are doing and what you are planning, otherwise how will they know how to support you and assist in the navigation? Manoeuvre: Let's go! Just make sure you have mapped out your route and know the best way to get there. Go forward, go towards your goal and don't stall!! Thanks team Custard for always being great co-pilots and for getting us from A to B every single day.
