SquidLondon Live on BBC2 Television 'Working Lunch' Show - 11November

What a day for SquidLondon!

We were rushing out to a meeting and we received a phone call from Hew Leith from Consolidated PR http://www.consolidatedpr.com/ asking if Squid would like to be on BBC2 TV on the 'Working Lunch' show to help promote NCGE http://www.ncge.com/home.php who have helped us immensely through a programme of theirs called Flying Start! http://www.flyingstartonline.com/

We rushed to our meeting and rushed back to find a lovely big tinted chauffeur driven car to take us to the TV Studios - what a treat - being driven in a car around London! Or as Viviane likes to put it - Luxury - no tubes, no buses!

You can watch it on BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nz20l/Working_Lunch_11_11_2009/

Our main points were the fabulous help of Government Funded enterprises that enable entrepreneur's to link up and learn about the wonderful world of business!

Anything is possible......

Child Reach Charity

Jennifer Petrillo

SquidLondon has pledged to donate £1 from every umbrella of their new limited collection to support a local student's efforts to raise funds for ChildReach International, a UK charity aimed at fighting child poverty in developing countries.

The LSHTM PhD student, Jennifer Petrillo, aims to raise £2000 by 2010 for a FutureBuild project in Tanzania, where volunteers help build schools for elementary school children. Sales of the umbrellas will help fund the project to provide supplies necessary to build the infrastructure, plaster walls, paint and decorate, sand desks for use, assemble a playground for recess, and possibly install a water harvesting tank.

The program aims to provide the people of Tanzania with the tools necessary to educate and nurture at a grassroots level, ultimately providing the children with the start in life they deserve.

For more information on the student's venture or to donate to the cause, visit: www.justgiving.com/JenniferPetrillo/. For information on how you can purchase an umbrella, visit http://umbrellas.myshopify.com/.

The Bird Squit Collection Launch

London is known for many things. One that certainly always comes to mind is rain and another is the wonderful abundance of pigeons.....

This Sunday 27th September SquidLondon is proud to launch at Spitalfields Market, the ultimate accessory for this Winter; an umbrella that not only changes colour in the rain but could also bring you good luck.

We look forward to seeing you there - 11am-5pm - pop down at any stage.

TeamSquid - Relay Triathlon

Yesterday, Sunday 19th September: the SquidFans made a trip to Eton, Dorney Lake. Supporting their legendary Rough Track Triathlon team consisting of Christian Sommer and David Jackson. A video shall be out shortly. Here is a first glimpse...

Christian swam 800m in a freezing cold lake in just 13.36minutes! He was the 7th out of the water - no wetsuit in sight - he was definitely the exception!

David cycled 20km in just 48min - he had to do 4 laps on a rough track and overtook 2 more bikers. Fortunately for him his bike did not puncture!

9km running was the final bit for our SquidMen. Christian in just 42 minutes led the SquidTeam successfully on to 5th place out of 50 teams!

Congratulations Team! Looking forward to the next one.....
