Its the start of the football season and with three 6-0 scores in the first weekend, this season looks set to be an exciting one!
We are getting into the spirit of the new season by having a Creative Emporium Fantasy Football league which several of our team have joined in the hope of winning big money! We would like to wish everyone involved the best of luck with their team!
In other football news, the English FA are getting more Premier League teams involved in our bid to host the World Cup in 2018.
The latest legends to get behind the campaign are Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson, two Manchester United legends. On Wednesday, they gave FIFA World Cup bid inspectors a guided tour of Old Trafford with Manchester United players Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand on hand to give a players perspective of the stadium. Old Trafford will be one of the proposed venues should we be successful in our bid to host the World Cup in 2018. As well as visiting Manchester, FIFA inspectors are also visiting potential venues in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Newcastle giving all major regions the opportunity to get involved with the World Cup should our bid be successful.
Football related merchandise is an excellent way to promote your company whilst engaging with your customers on a more personal level. Nearly everyone has an opinion on football from players getting paid too much to new signings to the kit the players are wearing! Most people also have a favourite team. Team colours can be replicated on any football related merchandise whilst still incorporating your logo to create an item that customers will want to keep.
From football sets to baseball caps to t-shirts to bags to office items like football shaped USB’s and stress balls, the list of merchandise available is endless and with football being a main topic of conversation at the moment, now is an ideal time to get involved.

On Tuesday, Big Brother fans saw worthy contestant Josie win the final ever Big Brother. As well as picking up a cheque for £100,000, Josie has now been given the opportunity to become the most popular winner ever by entering Ultimate BB, three weeks in the house with some of the most popular and controversial contestants of the previous ten years.
With all the excitement of the final, we also welcomed a new housemate to the Creative Emporium team! Paul Sharp entered the Creative Emporium House last Monday as our new Business Development Manager. Paul has had a successful first week where he has been kept busy with a comprehensive training and induction plan. This involved meeting his fellow housemates and working on a number of tasks to help him achieve full housemate status!
Paul will be developing, managing and promoting Creative Emporium to new accounts so if you’re not already a Creative Emporium customer, expect to receive a call from him soon!
Paul’s background is in the holiday and leisure industry which has involved him travelling the world to a variety of exotic locations including South America, Australia, the Caribbean and even Antarctica! With lots of stories to tell, Paul would have made an ideal candidate for the last ever Big Brother but has chosen the fun and excitement of Creative Emporium instead!
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Paul to the Creative Emporium team- Let’s hope he doesn’t get nominated by his fellow housemates!
If you would like to contact Paul please e-mail pauls@creativeemporium.co.uk

Cycling to work is in the news again after the launch last Friday of the London Cycle Hire Scheme.
Sponsored by Barclays in a £25m five year deal, the scheme sees 5,000 specially built bicycles stationed at a number of different docking bays in central London.

Anyone can hire the bikes either by registering for the scheme online or using a credit card at a docking bay location. Bikes can be hired on a daily, weekly or yearly basis once a membership fee is paid. After becoming a member, journeys under 30 minutes are free.
Transport for London sees cycling to work as one of the best ways to reduce congestion in the city and reduce carbon emissions and are working hard to promote the scheme with the introduction of “Cycle Superhighways”, a series of cycle lanes designed to make cycling easier and safer.
Prior to the launch of the scheme last Friday, 11,000 people had registered to become members with several independent companies already developing iphone apps that allow the user to see live information about cycle location and availability.
As for the future who knows, if the scheme is a success maybe you could see something similar appear in a city near you! Until then consider looking at the Cycle to Work Scheme Creative Emporium are participating in- It really is a great way to help the environment and keep fit!
