The champagne has been flowing as Corporate Rewards celebrated its 1,000th project win last Thursday. By remarkable coincidence, the client bringing the 1,000th project to Corporate Rewards was also the company's very first customer nearly a decade ago - Microsoft. 

Staff arrived at work to find the offices festooned with themed banners and balloons, and a professional pamperer in place to deliver relaxing massages to everyone throughout the morning. After a celebration lunch, complete with the cutting of a millennium cake, champagne presentations and entertainment courtesy of talented staff players of Band Hero, a professional caricaturist arrived to sketch all those brave enough to sit for him. Throughout the day, a top photographic team transformed the main conference room  into a studio to take everyone's  portraits.

Sean Wilkinson told staff:  'The reason why Microsoft, and so many other clients, keep coming back to Corporate Reward is you guys. It's your hard work, high standards of service and you guys consistently going above and beyond the call of duty that make our customers love us and stay with us.'  

Corporate Rewards is planning substantial celebrations for an even greater milestone next year when it will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Several members of staff will also reach their 10th year of employment with the company, which boasts a decade-long happy relationship with a number of customers, including of course Microsoft.
