Adventurous Rose and the many planks of wood on the Worthing beach

Those of you who have attended an Open Day in the UK will have heard from Peter Slowe how our office is not in the most exciting part of the country and is full of the retired. Last week excitement hit Worthing with a bang. We even made the front pages of the national newspapers.

The coast was strewn with wood. The Ice Prince ran into trouble off Portland Bill where I used to live. The wood that came off the boat took a few days to come ashore many miles up the coast at Worthing.

Our very own Rose Yelland who keeps the UK marketing team in order ventured out for a Sunday stroll and couldn’t believe what she saw. It wasn’t just a few planks of wood it was an amazing site as you can see.

Police have tried to stop people taking the wood off the beach and banned people from walking along the beach although if you have any wood requirements feel free to email Rose as I’m sure that she will be able to do you a deal!!

Our Scots members of the office were upset it wasn’t a rerun of the Whisky Galore story which happened off the Scottish Coast more than a few years ago. It is well worth seeing the film or reading the book by Compton Mackenzie of the arrival of not wood but crates of whisky on the Scottish coast.
