Award-winning promotional merchandise distributor, Outstanding Branding, celebrated its fifth birthday in style this month with a fantastic party for staff and suppliers.

“We really wanted the opportunity to thank our suppliers and staff who have been key to our success over the first five years of trading”, commented Managing Director, Sarah Penn. “We owe so much to those who have supported us, giving us the best service, the best rates, the best credit terms, and above all giving us their faith, that we couldn’t let a milestone like this pass without saying a big thank you to them, as well as of course to our fantastic team.”

The party was held at the Lensbury Hotel in Teddington, in a room dressed with on-brand LED lighting and balloons, with a DJ to ensure the party vibe. Drinks were flowing and canapés were also provided to keep energy levels up.

One of the most popular elements of the evening was the inflatable photo booth, complete with a range of props, which allowed #TeamOB and the suppliers to take away mementos of the evening.

Sales Director, Andy Thorne, delivered an impassioned speech, thanking both #TeamOB for their hard work and commitment over the years; and the suppliers for everything they continue to offer to help Outstanding Branding continue to grow and achieve its aims and ambitions.

“We are so lucky to have such a fantastic team behind us, both in #TeamOB and in the supply chain – I genuinely believe there’s nothing Outstanding Branding can’t go on to achieve and I’m proud to be a part of it”.

Feedback from the suppliers after the event shows that a great time really was had by all.

“We were inundated with emails and messages of thanks which was quite overwhelming”, said Sarah. “Big thanks have to go to all who took the time to let us know they had fun, and also to PromoTradeCo who kindly sent a delivery of pizza, garlic bread and coke into the office to help the team get back on their feet”.

“Fab night – Thank you to both of you and Team OB a great achievement in just 5 years well done! I drank far too much – and I am old enough to know better!” Mandy Hastie – Liquid Lens

“Can I say thank you very much for such a great night last night. It was an honour to share it with you and be part of it. I look forward to celebrating the next 5.” Dorian Tranter – Desktop Ideas

“Great to see you on top form with your team last night. I really enjoyed the party and it was great to chat to so many suppliers. You were ultra-generous in all you laid on, and I loved seeing everyone having an excellent time. The party was well organised, and I know the suppliers really appreciated it. Kind gestures like this really build a company’s reputation, and it is no less than you deserve.” David Long – Sourcing City

“I just wanted to say thank you for a great evening. You and your team are a great bunch and I know I can speak for all your guests in saying that Outstanding Branding not only are a great bunch of people but SERIOUSLY know how to party. Thank you again, it truly was a pleasure to celebrate OB’s 5th Birthday with you and your team.” Channa – Squeezyball

“We just had to say thanks very much for inviting us to your party last week, we had a great time. Chris gets a big credit for persuading me down Jaeger bomb alley ( our kids are impressed anyway!). Richard and I are still chuckling at the photos. You’ve certainly built a fantastic team to work with you, and if you all work as hard as you party, then you certainly deserve to go from strength to strength!” Caroline & Richard – Trilogy Lasercraft
