Wear It Pink Day
Today was “Wear It Pink” day at Audley and we had a great support from everyone who made a great effort and dug deep into their pockets for this very worthwhile cause.
Thanks to the efforts of Catherine in our Southeast Asia team, almost everyone turned up in some sort of pink attire and with more money raised through a pink cake sale, we managed to raise £205!
Well done all!

In one week from Saturday 26 September the East Asia region was hit by 3 separate natural disasters; Typhoon Ketsana swept through the Philippines that day and onto Vietnam on the 29th causing extensive damage and flooding; on 30th September in Indonesia an earthquake registering 7.6 on the Richter scale struck western Sumatra followed by an aftershock of 6.6 a day later.
We are now a week on from the devastating disasters that struck East Asia and the full extent of the damage caused is starting to become clear.

Play a love song to a whale
Every now and again I find a website that really stands out. I stumbled across this one today from an Australian business consultancy called Opus. Not a lot to do with Audley I hear you say, as this website is all about how they produced their new TV advert.
'Have a go archery' stall at the 2009 Wychwood Forest Fair.
Cornbury Park (between Finstock and Charlbury) was the venue for this year’s Wychwood Forest Fair.
Stopped in 1856 after it became increasingly riotous, it was revived in 2000 and this year was the first year Audley decided to act as a ‘corporate friend’ to the event.
