Here's what Twilo has been up to this January

The first month of 2020 and it’s been typically busy as is always the case as everyone comes back to work after Christmas with new ideas which leads to in spike in enquiries. It’s also a month for making changes and my New Year Resolutions lasted about 11 days!Firstly Dry January. Well that didn’t last long! 1 weekend, to be precise. I also attempted ‘Veganuary’ which was interesting. I did get to eat some nice food, particularly a place in Sheffield called Church (pics below), and best of all was the cupcake from Sugar Hit Cakery which was as good as any. But after less than two weeks I felt really unhealthy and the food just wasn’t doing it for me. A good, balanced diet seems to be the best approach and the main positive I took from Vaganuary is to use an ethical butcher and cut down on supermarket meat.
We’ve witnessed huge devastation in Australia as fires spread across land the size of Belgium. Our thoughts are with those who lost their homes and the many animals that passed.

In much brighter animal-related news we had the honour of having a dog named after us this month. Each year we donate money to Pontefract Dog Rescue which helps them buy food, beds and blankets for the dogs they take in. On New Year’s Eve they took in a poorly 9 year old spaniel who needed dental work and a new home. Our donation funded the operation and the little spaniel was given the name Twilo. Just recently Twilo was adopted so I’d like to thank Pontefract Dog Rescue for all they do and we will continue to support them as much as we can.
And last but certainly not least… We’re pleased to appoint Stephen Flicker as a Non-Executive Director for the next 12 months. Stephen brings bags of experience. He’s been appointed to help the team achieve their personal targets as well as assist me with business development. We have big plans in 2020!
