Envy BWY Birthday celebrations

Saturday 28th June


June always marks the time when the whole Envy team gather to celebrate, not only the birthday of Envy BWY, but also all the staff's birthdays too. This year the staff all chose to have a summer BBQ at owner, Tracie Gunningham's house which included all of their partners and children.

Tracie and husband Ian both worked extremely hard all day to make their home a welcoming place for all their staff; oh and one outstanding BBQ buffet too!

After the Gunningham's recent trip to Dubai, they learnt many new tricks perfect for some party games.

This included their 'cold stone' themed game for all the children to take part.
The aim of the game involved something along the lines of, taking a scoop of ice cream and throwing it to their partner who had to catch in an ice cream pot... You can only imagine the mess.

Soon enough the game turned into a huge ice cream fight, but it was great to see all our children smiling.

The ladies ended up in the hot tub singing along to music whilst the men chilled by the fire.

The drinks went down far too well by all.

Who knew Envy were One Direction secret fans?

Friday 6th June


Salon owner of Envy- Tracie with Business and Marketing manager- Sara went to 'regain their youth' by taking their two young daughter to the ONE DIRECTION concert.

The trip entailed of a train journey straight to London where they met the lovely Sam Cox at her hotel near Wembley Stadium, where some unexpected star fame was brought to hand before the concert. They were all extremely lucky to the Britain's Got Talent finalist, who were by luck staying in the Cox's hotel.

A chance to be embarrassing mums; photo bombing was definitely in order.

Quote from owner Tracie "1D were excellent and were the support act, five seconds of summer. We had a day of shopping the following day then all feeling exhausted- more like 10 years older! We returned home after all in all a great weekend to remember!"
