Christmas Jumper Day 2018 is set for Friday 14thDecember. Thousands of people up and down the country will don their Christmas jumpers for a fantastic cause – to create a better, brighter future for vulnerable children around the world. We signed up for the annual event a few weeks back and are delighted to have now received our welcome pack from Save The Children.
We love a good party here at Coinadrink, so when I saw that we hosted one 20 years ago this week I just had to share such a fantastic throwback. 28th November 1998 was the date and the National Motor Cycle Museum in Birmingham was the venue, and it goes without saying that we once again managed to turn the party into a very successful charity event!
Black Friday. You can’t fail to have noticed the shopping phenomenon that consumes the Nation every year. And now we’ve decided to get on board with Black Friday ourselves in the most charitable way possible. We have committed to donate 10p from each sale made in our Micro Markets, to a charity that is set to be nominated by each customer.
We know what you’re thinking here. Another exhibition. Same old, same old, right? Well, no, not quite. Coinadrink has travelled the region and attended some excellent events over the years in locations ranging from Bescot Stadium in Walsall to the NEC in Birmingham. This time it’s a little different, though, because Friday 14thSeptember will see us visit the NAEC in Coventry for the Midlands Business Network Exhibition in what will be our very first time. And as a little extra pull for you, it’s FREE to attend.
Coinadrink is based in Walsall of the West Midlands, so the Black Country is a region that is close to our heart and one that we are very proud to be a part of. You can imagine, then, that Black Country Day is an occasion that we look forward to with excitement. It’s fantastic to see the area come together with activities and events as part of the Black Country Festival, and it really emphasises what the the region is all about. Read on for a brief insight into the area, and boost your knowledge on such a fantastic part of the country!

Did you know that April is National Stress Month? We’ve noticed a lot of companies highlighting this on social media recently, and the point of this blog post is to emphasise the matter further. We all feel a little bit stressed from time to time, but it’s important to ensure it doesn’t escalate into something that is a lot more serious. We must highlight that we are not here to delve into the sensitive depths of mental health issues, and we only wish to inform and educate the reader of the issues that surround this concerning topic.

Today is ‘Get to Know Your Customers Day‘, a recurring event that is held on the third Thursday of each January, April, July and October. You may remember the days when most companies were locally operated and knew their customers one by one, but with the introduction of the internet & businesses operating on a wider scale, businesses have lost their personal touch somewhat. Coinadrink Ltd have always done things a little differently. Knowing and understanding our customers is the least we expect of ourselves, in order to maintain the premium level of service that our history has largely been built on.

It doesn’t seem all that long ago since the Christmas holidays, yet we’ve now already hit Easter! In fairness, it has arrived a lot earlier this year, and Easter Sunday is somewhat early this year on the 1st April! That means it’s been a mad rush for all of us to prepare with eggs, weekends away and the like. Many businesses closed on Thursday and employees are enjoying a long weekend before returning to the office next Tuesday, but before you head back, we thought we’d educate you on some history…

We remain a charitable company, and we were always determined to tie our efforts into party night. A dedicated prize draw and auction was carried out, and a massive £5500 was raised for both Acorns Children’s Hospice and Just Small Change combined. This is a great achievement by everyone involved, so it’s a very well done! Read more
