Floating on Success

Details: Published: Saturday, 07 July 2012 14:23

We were graced with blue skies as we project managed the ABC Taxis float at the Lord Mayor's Procession in Norwich 2012.

The theme was the Olympics and there was excellent teamwork all round!

It was great to have a football goal donated by Harrod UK, an official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games supplier.

"On behalf of all here at ABC, I want to say thank you for your hard work, time and effort that you put into the Lord Mayor's Procession. The day was a huge success and boosted our company and image to a wide range of the general public. The weather stayed dry and feedback was great; everyone had a fantastic time and it was nice to see the team making such an effort." Simon Callender, Director ABC Taxis Ltd.
