We’ve changed the Green Room to showcase all of your fantastic images and make it easier to move around the site.

We’ve listened to feedback from colleagues across the business, in stores and at the Community Life Conference held earlier in the year and made the upload process easier.

You can now upload straight from your smartphone, showcase your fantastic photos on Store Locator pages for customers to see, and the site is mobile-optimised so you can browse on the Green Room at any time!

We’ve pulled across all the images you’ve uploaded in the last 12 months and we’ve made some changes to the way the upload form works. You now upload one photo and caption at a time.

Win a BBQ

To make sure that we have the most tasty, finger-lickin’ ribs possible in The Butcher’s Selection, our chefs went on a road trip around Dallas, Memphis and Kansas City to the home of the smoke house.

Whilst on the trip they also entered the World BBQ Championships where they faced tough competition from the world’s best – and were the only team there from the UK.

This has resulted in our selection of ribs having the true taste of the South – and as they say in those parts “they’re mighty fine!”

Exclusive Colleague Prize Draw: Win a BBQ worth £199!

To help you enjoy The Butcher’s Selection BBQ range this summer, we’re giving colleagues the chance to win a fantastic Uniflame 4 Burner and Side Burner Gas Barbeque worth £199!

As today is a special day in the LGBT community – being IDAHO Day – we thought it would be a great opportunity to launch the second edition of the LGBT newsletter. Take a look at the newsletter here!

In this issue we have interviews from the LGBT community, some information on our charitable activities and IDAHO day, a Hello Kitty competition and much more!

IDAHO Day

May 17th marks International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia Day (IDAHO Day) – a worldwide event where countries from all around the globe mark the need to end homophobia and transphobia.

The date of May 17th was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organisation’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder, however even to this day approximately 80 countries regard homosexuality as an illegal act.

Gemma Brindle, the Regional People manager for the South Wales Region, and seven other women from the Cardiff area have been training every week to prepare for an eight day trek to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro – hoping to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research in the process!

Read her blog below:

Training for Mount Kilimanjaro

On July 28th I will be leaving for an eight day trek to attempt to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro along with seven other girls from Cardiff to raise money for Cancer Research.

Cancer has affected all of us in one way or another so this is our way of giving something back.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcanic mountain in Tanzania. It is the highest freestanding mountain in the world at 5895 metres.
