A new kind of work blog

Hi all, just a quick one to introduce myself. I am Katie, I work at Patricia Eve with my Husband, Chris- who is the Director. We are a family business, which was started decades and decades ago by Chris’ wonderful parents, Pat and Mike. Chris now runs the business, and has me to help (if you can call it that) when I can. We have a fabulous team here, who we wouldn’t be able to run without. Irene, Mike, Graeme, Dan- all take bow!

We have recently decided (we, being Chris), that I should start working more (thrilled I assure you), and that I should take over the social media accounts for Patricia Eve. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am a little bit of a social media junkie, however, running business social media is a new world to me. I have tried to do the usual google research, and ordered various books from Amazon, but as a busy working Mum of 2, I haven’t even opened the front cover yet. I have carried them around in my handbag for over 2 weeks, with the best of intentions. Great, I’ll read them at Freddie’s swimming lesson I thought- wrong! Taking your eyes off your child whilst they try to impress, is possibly the worst thing you could ever do, that hour!

So, this is all a learning curve for me- please bear with me!

I have decided to update the blog with my progress, if I actually make any, and share with you the world we work in.

So, our business! We are distributors for some amazing brands, and we specialise in shapewear, swimwear, nightwear and lingerie. Our website gives a better overview than me, so take a peek!

This week sees me upping my working week from 3 days, to 4. Up to now, I have tried and failed to clear my inbox, spoken to currency dealers for what feels like a total of around 8 hours, deactivated the Facebook page, ruined the profile picture on Instagram, and had 1 day off with child sickness! So, I’m hoping that maybe next week will be more successful.

If there is anything that people want to see more of, or less of, please let me know- and I’ll try my best!
