Thank you to the Olympic Volunteers from Network Rail!
Thank you to the Olympic Volunteers from Network Rail!
Here at Chocolate Fountain Hire, we were very excited to be asked to provide a chocolate fountain at three very special events. The events were to thank the Olympic Volunteers who so ably directed visitors around the train network to get to the Olympic events. When Network Rail were first tasked with the job of getting the visitors around the various sites and stadiums for the 14 days of the games, their motto was ‘sport not transport’ basically saying they wanted newspaper headlines to be about the excellent sporting achievements and not transport problems. They succeeded! The plan for the evening was for the guests to arrive at between 5pm and 5.30pm and to chat, have drinks and canapés. Then the highlight of the evening and introduction by the brilliant Alex Broker, who was also a presenter of the Channel 4’s The Last Leg. He did a question and answer session with an Olympian athlete and Had the audience rolling around with laughter!!! One the first night we had Laura Trott who won 2 gold medals.
Both Mat and Louise queued up to get pictures! The medals are surprising large and heavy! On the second evening we had Jody Cundy, the Para Olympian infamously disqualified 1km time trial, but still proudly displaying his bronze, and on the third evening we saw Louis Smith and his silver medal from the men’s pommel horse final. It was a great three days and the chocolate was enjoyed very much by all of the guests. A roaming photographer captured moments for the audience to treasure! This was one of the occasions though when the chocolate fountain team was honored to be part of something as fantastic as the Olympic Games.

Chocolate Fountain was a sweet success at Warwick NHF Conference
Chocolate Fountain was a sweet success at Warwick NHF Conference
Recently the team from chocolate fountain hire spend a couple of days in Warwick providing our large chocolate fountain on a trade stand at the Housing Finance Conference and Exhibition which is held in the grounds of the University of Warwick.This was our second time at the Exhibition so we new exactly what to expect! The first day was 13 hours but the time soon passes with lots of interesting visitors to the chocolate fountain, and of course our hosts from this housing were incredibly friendly and were very welcoming to us. The sole purpose of the chocolate fountain was to encourage delegates to stop, eat and have an informal chat before moving onto the next exhibitor. It worked really well, in particular strawberries, marshmallows and doughnuts were in huge demand, even the Fudge was very popular. Even Apes loved the chocolate fountain! As our stand was one of the few with a good intensive for delegates to stop we were steadily busy. Day 2 was a little shorter in duration and it was soon time to pack up and go home along with all of the exhibitors and delegates. All in all a really good event with great company hope we will be back next year!!!!

Team building in Sunningdale
Here at chocolate fountain hire we are lucky to have regular customers, and one of our favourite venues is Sunningdale Park in Ascot. They have a dedicated business centre called The Evelyn Sharpe centre where companies send staff members for week long conferences, training sessions and team building. We are often asked to provide a chocolate fountain for the afternoon tea break, to give the delegates some much needed oomph! We set up in the break out area of the centre, where the tea, coffee and soft drinks are, and quickly put together the chocolate fountain, and arranged the dips. Straight away we had hungry delegates coming over to ooo and ahhh over the range of dips and the delicious chocolate. We fed about 150 people in about 45 minutes with strawberries, pineapple, chocolate brownies and profiteroles, whilst they drank coffee and chatted with their colleagues. It really is a lovely booking, the staff are all friendly and helpful and the delegates are always so happy to see us!
