First things first - an XFactor whinge. Did anyone see last night's travesty?


We are pleased to report that we have seen a significant shift in optimism and confidence in the market place in general and in recent weeks we have been busier than ever. Jo has also been on an NLP for Business course and we are using these NLP techniques back at Hatty Towers to really give our candidates the edge when they are pursuing their dream job. So welcome to this long overdue bumper edition of our blog!





Shiv and I are proud to be donning our trainers and walking boots again for a double whammy of athletic challenges! We are both running the first ever Virgin London Marathon in April 2010 in aid of St Lukes Kenton Grange Hospice! Training has started already and we have our first 10k race this weekend to get us started. What do you thnk of the dragon outfit?


A month after the Marathon we are looking forward to taking part in their annual Sponsored walk! St Lukes is committed to the provision of specialst palliative care - free of charge to people with advanced, progressive illnesses which addresses their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs thus enhancing their quality of life. Between Saturday 29th May and Friday 4th June 2010 we shall be trekking across Scotland!


The Great Glen runs for 73 miles coast to coast across Scotland and takes in Loch Ness and at times is on an "island" with the canal on one side and River Lochy on the other so it is going to be beautiful!


The annual operating costs are currently estimated at £3.5million and they receive less than 30% of financial support from local health authorities so rely on volunatary contributions and event such as the annual sponsored walk to make up the major source of their funding.


If anyone is interested in joining our merry band and walking with us we would be thrilled to hear from you. Its definitely one of the best things we have ever done! Check out the website www.stlukes-hospice.org/walkerswebsite/greatglenway.htm

Press Release!!!!

BBC Hotel Babylon Star Visits The Covent Garden Dental Spa
Bringing a whole new meaning to the expression ‘say aaaah’; the Covent Garden Dental Spa is a revolutionary new dental practice opening for 2009 and Hatty Blue is delighted to champion it! The newest addition to trendy Neal St, the Covent Garden Dental Spa ticks all the boxes when it comes to a stylish and indulgent sensory experience. In an intimate setting, tucked away from London’s hustle and bustle, the Covent Garden Dental Spa is unlike any dentists you ever seen. With its rich chocolate walls, comfortable sofas and gleaming crystal lights, the reception area has the ambience of an upmarket hotel rather than a dentist’s waiting room! Personal service is a top priority and a warm friendly welcome and free session in the massage chair puts clients at ease straight away. Actor Dexter Fletcher, now appearing in the new BBC series of Hotel Babylon, has been one of the salon’s first clients. Following a recommendation from a friend he booked an initial consultation but wasn’t sure what he’d find. He said: “Most dentists are so clinical and aloof; talk about grin and bear it. As soon as I got here it was obvious that it’s nothing like that. The salon is like a haven, an escape from this crazy world! I’ve been putting off getting my teeth sorted for ages, but now I can’t wait. Bring on those pearly whites!”The Covent Garden Dental Spa is the realisation of a dream by dentist, Flora Chigwedere. Flora had worked in the NHS and conventional private practice for a number of years and was disillusioned by the formal and impersonal approach of most practices. She explains: “When we go to the hairdressers or beauty salon, we expect an indulgent and relaxing experience. Good dental health is an important part of our wellbeing, so why should it be any different?” The Covent Garden Dental Spa offers a full range of dental health and cosmetic treatments, along with complimentary sessions on the massage chair. A monthly membership plan is available for £18 per month and includes two dental exams, two hygienist visits, 10% off all dental treatments and FREE tooth whitening. Check out www.coventgardendentalspa.co.uk for details and call Yana on 020 7836 9107 quoting HATTY BLUE.

Jo, Shiv and Alison (Jo's Mum) on the Macmillan Way, May 2009

Apologies for the long overdue blog. What with the London Marathon and Charity walk we have been very busy at Hatty Towers!

Firstly, a huge thank you to each and every one of you for sponsoring us to do our 74 mile walk in Devon for St Luke’s Hospice.
It was certainly a test of our endurance and lets just say we were a little under prepared and felt unnerved when we met the rest of the group who were all kitted out in their professional gear and water proofs! We weren’t so sure why they found our white trainers so amusing!
The weekend was a huge success. We came away very tired but happy and St Luke’s are thrilled and would like to thank you for raising a staggering £1,800. Without your generous support it would be very difficult for charities like St Luke’s to do the work they do as they are heavily reliant on donations.
St Luke’s are really keen to recruit fresh blood to these walks and we were surprised at how much we enjoyed it so we are getting a group together next year and if you are interested in joining us please let us know........

Next, thank you to all you generous people for your amazing sponsorship for The Childrens Trust which enabled me to run the last ever Flora London Marathon. It was an amazing day! Thank you all for helping me fulfil one of my life ambitions and more importantly raise over £2000 for this fantastic cause. Here is a photo of my friend Anna and I at the half way mark at Tower Bridge. We are still smiling, strangely.

With love and thanks to you all for your generosity and support.

www.justgiving.com/joannadonelan2

Last year, my Dad and I planned to run the London Marathon together in tribute to and in memory of my youngest sister Amy (pictured left) who was killed in a car accident in November 2003 with one of her best friends Anthony Clarke. She was on a gap year before starting a Law & Politics degree at Newcastle University and was weeks away from flying out to Australia for a working holiday.
Unfortunately an injury in training forced me to abandon the marathon on the day which was bitterly disappointing but I was so proud of my fantastic Dad who at the ripe old age of 64, ran valiantly without me and not only did a jaw droppingly brilliant time but also raised masses of money for his chosen charity "Children with Leukemia". I've got a lot to live up to!
This year I feel extremely privileged to also run to raise funds for The Children's Trust which is a fantastic national charity working with children who have multiple disabilities and complex health needs. Around 70% of the children at the Trust have an acquired brain injury, as the result of an unfortunate accident like Amy's, or illness.
The Trust acts like a bridge between hospital and home and offers support and guidance to rehabilitate and provides transitional care for children to adapt to their new circumstance. The aim is to help each child gain as much independence as possible to enable them to return to their family and friends and participate in full-time education.
The charity is staffed by teams of dedicated professionals including experienced nursing and care staff, doctors, therapists, teachers,social workers and hospital play specialists who provide care at their 24 acre site in Tadworth, Surrey as well as in the family home and in the community across the UK.
If everyone who reads this page donates just a few pounds you will be helping to transform the lives of so many children who need your help. in terms of community support, continuing and palliative care for those children who are unable to return home becauseof their very complex needs, Outreach services where nurses and care assistants provide support in the family home, and end-of-life support. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Children's Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.So please sponsor me now - I am extremely grateful for your support and generosity.

We have just taken on the most fantastic 3 month contract. If you are an outstanding senior level Executive Assistant who is free immediately please read on and get in touch with us if you'd like to know more...!

Congratulations to Mediacom from Shiv & Jo (suffering slightly after Paddy's Day....!)

"People First, Better Results". Not just a 'strapline' for one of our favourite Communications Planning & Buying Client's Mediacom who, for the fourth successive year have been named one of the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to work for!!


With an overall positive score of 84% with particular emphasis on the strength of the teamwork ethic, staff confidence in eachother's abilities and having fun at work, they were yet again the highest ranked company from the entire media and advertising sectors.
Key to their success is the 'If I ran the company' initiative where the entire workforce gives presentations to management about what they would do if they were the Big Chief! The best ideas are then implemented which include free breakfast and fruit and the ever popular company bar!
In a unswerving effort to make the company full of interested and interesting people, they offer a diverse range of 'Fresh Learning' grants where employees are actively encouraged to learn something new whether it be japanese, photography or trekking Mount Kilimanjaro...

Spring has finally arrived and Shiv & I are bouncing into the season feeling rejuvenated and positive. So much so that we have just signed up to a 5 day, 70 mile charity walk next month - we must be mad!

We are currently recruiting for the following position - please do get in touch if you are interested in learning more.......

It’s a big day in the Hatty Blue office… Today, we have joined the likes of Barack Obama, Stephen Fry, Boris Johnson, and Britney Spears by creating a shiny new Twitter account. Whenever a hot new permanent or temporary job comes onto our books, a member of the team will log into the account and post a lightning speed alert to all our faithful followers.

The Hatty Blue team have been hearing more and more about this Twitter lark. Today, the Guardian newspaper described it as ‘a megaphone for the planet’. On Saturday, the first marriage proposal was sent through the site (and promptly accepted, through a Twitter update of course). On the 2nd February, Stephen Fry attracted his 100,000th follower – he is now nearing 200,000 (only Barack Obama has more…).

So – what exactly happens? The Guardian explains – “Twitter is a social networking service that combines elements of blogging and texting by allowing its users to send updates to their friends (or "followers") via the web or mobile phone in messages (or "tweets") of up to 140 characters each. Unlike Facebook, anyone on Twitter can follow your updates.”

Fancy following Hatty Blue? It’s simple. Click on this link and press on the tab to follow us - http://twitter.com/hattyblue. You’ll be asked to create an account, which will take just a few seconds. Make sure you set up your mobile to receive the alerts – or simply check your homepage every day for a newsfeed of our exciting new positions!

It’s been a week of slippery pavements and nightmare journeys into work. As Friday draws to a close, London is changing from a stunning frosted white to a depressing murky brown. With money worries gripping the capital, we wouldn’t blame you for feeling a little down in the dumps as the weekend arrives.

Hatty Blue, however, has some exciting news to report to all our candidates. After pitching for new business back in December, we have just been selected to recruit for cosmetics giant L’Oreal!

Beauty is a great industry to be involved in at the moment, with brands reporting growing products despite the economic downturn. It makes sense, of course. While we were splurging on new cars, expensive holidays, and designer handbags in 2008, we’re now spending our well-earnt cash on the smaller things that make us happy – like a creamy lipstick, an innovative mascara, or a luxury shampoo.

We fully expect the jobs from L’Oreal to start flooding in, so keep checking our Facebook page and blog for updated job descriptions. Until then, have a scan below to see if any of our new jobs take your fancy. If you think you’re the person for the job, email your CV to hello@hattyblue.co.uk.

Notice a few glum faces on the train this morning? Finding it hard to motivate yourself this afternoon? There's an explanation - today is officially the most depressing day of the year. Waking up on a dark Monday morning is bad enough - it gets even messier when driving rain, hideous tube delays, and dwindling bank accounts are added to the mix...

The team at Hatty Blue are trying to stay upbeat (with a little help from bowls of homemade soup, slices of fruit cake, and mug after mug of milky tea). We'll also be taking inspiration from the latest issue of RM Magazine this week, which features top tips for surviving the credit crunch at work or play. Here are a few of our favourite...

1) Make saving money a game. Saving money doesn't have to be all about cycling to work and bringing in sandwiches. Sites such as Martin's Money Saving Tops (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/) are full of creative and novel ways to stretch those pounds.

2) Sharpen up your image. Nothing says "going out of business" louder than shabby offices and a down-at-heel appearance. Get a good deal on an office spruce-up from an under-employed decorator and hit the Christmas sales for bargains on quality tailoring and footwear - the boost in confident will be worth it.

3) Go Green. No-one can accuse you of being a miser when you're saving money by saving the planet. Fit low-energy bulbs and get used to turning things off at night. Cut down on paper waste by not printing out emails and printing double-sided.

4) Get Deals! It's time to make sure you're paying the keenest price for everything. Put your utility suppliers through their paces by using a comparison site such as http://www.utilitywatchuk.co.uk/.
