Thrifty Christmas ideas prove hit for The Square’s competition winner

An innovative Midlands artist offering customers a ‘home-made’ Christmas has been making the most of the opportunity given to her when she won a rent-free shop at Birmingham’s The Square shopping centre.

Craftsperson Cassandra Jovic from Moseley says the credit crunch, and shoppers’ desire to give something truly unique this year has given her business, Crunched Gifts, a huge boost.

She was given the chance to cash in on the festive period after winning a competition earlier in the year, run by the Square shopping centre, to run a pop-up shop in the city centre location, rent-free until Christmas.

Table-toppers net sponsorship from Park Inn Hotel

We were delighted to see our clients, the Park Inn Hotel York, have agreed to sponsor a local football team who have yet to be beaten this season.

The city centre hotel is hoping their support will help prolong the unbeaten run of Rawcliffe FC’s under-19 football team and keep them at the top of the table.

The Park Inn by Radisson York has provided the team with training tops, and is allowing the 15-strong squad to train free-of-charge at the hotel’s impressive gym facilities on a Saturday.
