Enterprise Nation

The roadtrip would not have motored so smoothly without a little help from our friends. Thanks to our sponsors, suppliers, the crew and … you!

Sponsors

The touring car was a sight to behold with its stylish transfers of sponsor logos emblazoned across all sides. 

Thanks to Orange for their sponsorship, for attending all events and bringing prizes too! And what would we have done without the Orange broadband dongle that kept us connected throughout and allowed Emma to check emails after every filming/event/pit-stop!

Thanks to Malmaison for accommodating us in their lovely hostelries in Glasgow and London. The crew agreed that a bath filled with their sweet-smelling purple foam was the best possible way to unwind from a busy day.

Suppliers

Thanks to Andy Rudkin at Creative 62 for designing and producing our car laminates. Andy – you should know that at events we attended, the big talking point was how many people had spotted the car driving through their street/town/village that day. All down to you!

The team at Jump To did a grand job on designing the roadtrip pop-ups and flyers promoting a new Enterprise Nation/Jump To product (to be announced in a next feature...)  

Thanks to Moneypenny for taking calls when we couldn’t. Their service is nothing short of professional and we’ll be continuing to use the service even now the trip is over.

Thanks to MeshHopper for prioviding us with an in-car router that boosted our connectivity speed whilst on the move.

The crew

Nick Clark was the man responsible for driving the 1,233 miles and he did it without complaint. Thanks also to Nick’s wife, Fiona, who came along to ensure the crew had a constant supply of in-car refreshments and acted as reliable map-reader in command!

Tim Sargent was, as ever, a delight. Easy to work with and quick with humour, Tim kept the camera rolling and kept the crew amused throughout.

And you!

Thanks to all of you who came to the events. It was great to meet so many Enterprise Nation members and readers. We hope you enjoy the result of the trip which will be aired for the first time on Home Enterprise Day on Friday 20th November – and we hope to see you on that day too!
