GME News - February, 2016

Editor's Note

January feels like just a blur it went by so fast, and now we are into the month of Love. Happy Valentine’s Day and I hope you find a way to celebrate love this month. After having a very busy December, it was nice having a quiet January so I could take some time to plan for 2016, and having a plan has renewed my determination to make this year EPIC … that’s my word for this year … EPIC! I think one of the unique things about GME and the way I run this business is that I’m keeping the number of Acts that I work with small, providing a boutique entertainment experience for my clients, plus this allows me to get to know my Acts. My company really started with me and a few friends as Acts and has now grown to just over 50.Marlene Hill is my friend and one of my top Acts, and it was wonderful having a girly night out having dinner and catching up. There was no work talk, just wine and lots of giggling. I also met up with J.D. King, my dynamic ElvisAct to discuss his re-vamped show and talk about the GME theatre shows that will be launching later this year. Watch this space! There was a bit of excitement when I was named a ‘Face of Portsmouth’ by About My Area. Click here to read the article that was featured in the 4 February edition of their weekly newsletter. A shout out to Anna Howell who wrote the article (and she’s a very good friend) and Haley Storey who runs the Portsmouth AMA for selecting me. I am really honoured. Lastly, I have been nominated for a Venus Award in the Customer Service category. In 2014, I was a finalist in the New Business category and I was delighted when I received the news of this year’s nomination. I do work hard to provide a high level of service to my internal clients (my Acts) and my external clients and the fact that this made enough of an impression to make someone nominate me is quite rewarding in itself. I’m not sure if I’ll win, but as they say at the Oscars, it’s great just to be nominated. That’s it from me this month, but do read on for other GME news. We’ve got a great offer for this month and our Act of the Month is brand new to GME, so help me welcome her. Gloria Miller GME News Editor
