The 2K Team is: Peter Davies IT Director – he has a ‘proper’ executive job as well as working with us, Miss Craigie McMillan - packing division (weekends) & Post labels evenings & is my long suffering partner - Jane Marsh – packing division - she is our longest serving employee and has not stopped talking since she arrived, Malcolm Lumb - he sorts the post every morning, checks incoming goods and picks most of the orders - which keeps him away from Mrs lumb, Father chief book keeper - well he likes talking to Debbie our Accountant - (well we all do) – talking of Debbie she has been for a look round our new shop – and it went well! Then there’s Mother we have made her company chairwoman and customer services manager – that will sort out any problems should any customers think of complaining! Ha!, and now there was Amber – Craigie’s no 2 Daughter but she has gone off with a boy again so we are not sure what she is doing now. We now have Emma who eats a lot of apples, does some order packing on fridays and helps with the customers in the shop and the computer work the rest of the time – it’s the general opinion of us all that Emma’s in charge! Carol has joined us a few weeks ago for a couple of days a week, she is going to keep us all laughing and I mean laughing - in between packing orders, putting stock out and serving some customers. We have Ben on Saturdays now who seems to manage to price up all the weeks new stock and load it onto the EPOS system – its generally acknowledged by everyone that he’s a fine lad! And we are grateful to his Mum Susan for sending him down to us. Oliver has joined us on Sundays and seems a dab hand at loading up new stock onto our ebay site - all agree he is also a very nice Lad with a liking for banoffee pie!. To keep things international and ensure a good supply of Vodka, we have appointed Sergey in Moscow as director of our Russian division – we have adopted his new dog as our mascot! Then there’s me David Watson and I do everything else.....and then there’s the cats...
