So This Is Christmas

...and what have we done?

Well, in 2012, Pier 32 has done quite a bit, actually. This year marked our move to carbon-neutral status. Our trip to Brighton in June for the Eco-Technology show saw us adding old friends and new to the ever-increasing circle of Pier32 influence (which is entirely benevolent and nurturing, I hasten to add).

It's been a big year for us in social media too, with the launch of a Pier32 presence on Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and YouTube. Our Twitter feeds continue to feed you chat, banter and the best of the ethical web. Oh, and there's a blog too, apparently.

And of course, we're helping to supply the very finest in custom ethical promotional clothing to an ever-growing client base. I'd love to say thank you to every single one of them, but we could be here for a while if I did.

2013 is going to carry on with the same forward-looking feeling. A strong Pier32 showing will be off to the NEC for the Motorsport show in Birmingham in mid-January, where we'll be cheering on the Kartforce team that we are proud and happy to be sponsoring. Look out for new films from us on our YouTube channel, too, as we document our adventures.

It's been a busy year for us here at The Pier, and for most of the gang it's time to kick back and relax. The office will be closed from mid-day today, December 20th, and we'll reopen fully for business on January 3rd. Gerry and Ian will be checking their emails on the odd occasion when they can drag themselves away from the figgy pud and turkey.

In my little shack at the end of The Pier, I too will be slowing down a little, but I'm not shutting up shop entirely. Expect a relaxed but regular posting schedule, including my look at a year in ethical fashion. Keep an eye on the official blog twitterfeed as well: you can follow me as @Pier32Blog.

I'd like to thank all my readers, and everyone that's passed on kind words about the blog. This is Rob, lifting a glass and wishing you all a very merry Christmas.
