Work Experience.

Hello, my name is Bonnie-Rae Wilson, and I am currently on my work experience week, here at GGS.
I am a Year10 student at Sprowston High School and I am a GCSE Student studying Photography. I am in the midst of doing plenty of coursework, and exams for other subjects. So school life is pretty hectic at the minute. But I guess work experience is also a break from exams, as well as a taster into what 'work life' is all about.

I've always known about GGS as my Nannie and Grandad are friends with Peter Griffin, so when I picked my options for GCSE and picked photography, I instantly knew that I wanted to do my year 10 work experience here.

Its only Wednesday, and I am already having so much fun! I didn't think that in 3 days, you could possibly fit so much work into the amount of hours you do. I have achieved and learnt so much this week already. I have been doing numerous jobs, such as;

• Working offsite, at the Norfolk Showground constructing an exhibition stand for 'Team Lotus'.
• Helping around the office with various members of staff.
• Went to a presentation at HSBC Bank.

And they have been so fantastic! I am really lucky to have been able to have this opportunity to work here with such down to earth, welcoming people!
-If I had the chance, I would stay here instead of going back to school!

Top Testimonial

This just in from Louise Collins at Booja Booja; producers of fantastic chocolate and ice-cream.

'We’re delighted with the beautiful website designed and built for us by GGS. It’s been great to work with a local company who took the time and trouble to get to know us and our brand and worked closely with us to bring our ideas to life. It was also a real bonus that they were able to do all the photography for the site too, providing us with beautiful, stylish photographs that were incorporated perfectly into our site design. The GGS team are friendly, helpful and professional and we have no hesitation recommending them and their photographic and web design services.'

It was great working with the Booja Booja team too. If only all of our clients were so nice!

Thanks Louise!

Now that's a lot of Patisserie!

I'm sure it's nothing to do with GGS's top quality service, photography, packaging design, exhibition stand design and building prowess, and really all to do with the product (ahem!); but as a result of Indulgence Patisserie - one of our major and most esteemed clients - exhibiting at the International Food Exhibition last month at ExCeL they are currently preparing for a presentation to Tesco, Waitrose are stocking their excellent Rocky Road Pie and they have taken an order for 48 pallettes of product.

Someone, somewhere has definitely got taste!

A recipe for Fabulous Food Photography

We thought a few more people ought to know about our skills and facilities when it comes to food photography; so Peter and Michelle have produced a handy little booklet which you might like to have a look at.



It shows what beautiful lighting, careful preparation and exquisite finishing can do to enhance your product and make it stand out from the competition.

Never forget; the first bite is with the eye. So if you are producing fabulous food which you want people to know about, then let them see it - with a fabulous photo.

My Final Day At GGS

Today was quite a sad day for me at GGS having to say goodbye to people who have made me feel so welcome in the time I have spent bugging them. Today began with continuing with research I had started yesterday for Emily which took up the majority of the day. I then spent some time with Keith, where we discussed various website projects he has going on, (Booja Booja , Greenland Houchen & Pomeroy and City of Norwich School).

We also received a great response from David Brodie (resource manager at CNS) about the website he got to view yesterday alongside the rest of the designated authoring team. He loved what he saw and emailed his thoughts -
" ...there was quite a buzz from the group (who had not already seen the site). I personally couldn’t believe how easy the CMS is to use and I had a play with the (governors) pages last night – no problem! ... "

So a great response to a great week. Thank you GGS for letting me spend a week with you all and putting up with me. Its been such a valuable experience . Many thanks to you all.

Robyn`s Daily Update - Nearing the end

This morning I met Rob, who does GGS's Website coding, for the first time as we left for our nine o`clock meeting with CNS. The meeting involved us handing over the website to the designated authoring team so they could replace the dummy content as well as showing many members of the team the site for the first time. After discussing the new and improved site facilities we went on to discuss the site's administration via a Content Management System which was simple and easy to use and which they were delighted with. The meeting went well and was a pleasure to observe.



The rest of the day was made up of spending some time with Peter and Andrew observing how you quote for a job, I also got to have a sneak preview of a mock up of 'Peter Griffin's Cook Book'. Then after a quick break and some general office duties I began doing some research for Emily.
