Trade Only Spring Roadshows




It’s been a busy week this week at Bio Laboratories, both for Ian on his road trip of Trade Only Spring road shows and for the sales team in the office with a lot of enquiries about the new credit card sized dental floss and a large number of orders being processed and shipped out for month end.
Ian is keen to give a ‘shout-out’, like any other avid Radio 1 listener, to those that organized the shows and all the customers that attended them and made his trips worthwhile.
We estimate that Ian covered around 860 miles over the 4 shows, travelling between Manchester, Doncaster, Glasgow and Slough. It’s a good job this was before the planned strikes were announced, springing a frenzy of panic fuel buying – either that or everyone has been rushing to the petrol stations to get their warm sausage rolls before they go up by 20%!
We hear they may be a shortage on branded hand sanitisers in the coming weeks – jerry cans at the ready!

Marketing Position Filled




Following Hayley's decision to not return to the Bio Labs family earlier this year after the birth of her little boy Charlie so that she can be closer to home we are pleased to announce that Jamie will be stepping into her shoes on the marketing side - not literally her high heels, but her marketing position.

Jamie has been with Bio Labs for just over a year already, having joined us from one of our customers JD Williams. Whilst many of our promotional customers will not have dealt with Jamie yet, he has been working tirelessly on stock control for our Home Shopping customers like Shop Direct, Very, JD Williams and Freeman's bringing our stock management system up to date on a huge range of branded fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries from suppliers like OPI, Burts Bees and Fake Bake. This has helped us more than double the amount of lines we offer to our catalogue customers.


Now everything is running smoothly and with extra time on his hands (more than he can use to tweak his fantasy football team) it is the perfect time to let him start using his Advertising degree and creative skills and help drive marketing forward, so watch out for plenty of new press releases, new product launches and even more striking exhibition graphics and stands than ever before.

Spring Trade Only Shows




No sooner is Ian back in the office from a Trade Show in Orlando (lucky thing) he is packing his bags again and hitting the road for the Trade Only Spring Shows in Doncaster, Slough, Glasgow and Manchester between the 21st and 29th of March along with 50+ other promotional product suppliers.

His bags will be packed with plenty of examples of the product range including NEW travel and sport related items ideal for summer holidays and the Olympics, FREE catalogues and FREE gifts for visitors.

There's Free parking, Free entry to the trade and Free refreshments at each event so hopefully you will be able to meet him at one of the shows to make his 'round the UK' road trip all the the more interesting.

From Ian’s last holiday* in Orlando, we were treated to a couple of big bags of Starburst to keep us on a productive sugar high, who knows what the sunny climates of Slough will entice Ian to bring back with him!
We’ll keep you posted on that one…

*Sorry, business trip.

Welcome Back Clare




All at Bio Laboratories are pleased to be welcoming Clare back to work on Monday 5th March after her maternity leave for her and husband Neil’s second daughter.

Her sister Caren assures us that she can’t wait to come back and I’m sure that feeling will last for about 30 minutes into Monday morning.

Anyone who already knows Clare I’m sure will be happy to see her return to work, especially Ian who is looking a fair bit older than when Clare left the office.  Clare, we hope you can enjoy a stress free return to the office, especially since we all spent so long returning any stationary that may belong to you back to your desk.

Good luck!
