Liverpool style setters… "Are you the Liverpool ONE?"
CALLING out to the style savvy
Liverpool workforce! With the opening of Liverpool ONE just around
the corner Liverpool ONE is launching its very own search for
Liverpool’s most stylish worker.
If ever proof was needed that Liverpool is now seen as a platform
for new fashion brands, one need look no further than the wide
variety of retailers snapping up space at the brand new Liverpool
ONE. Built in the heart of the city centre the 42-acre development
will include over 160 shops, plus cafes, restaurants and bars, two
hotels, a huge Odeon cinema, 600 apartments, parking for more than
3,000 cars and a five-acre park.
The first phase of the £1bn retail and leisure development is set to
open at the end of May and has attracted names including American
Apparel, All Saints, H&M, Aldo, John Lewis and Debenhams.
The ‘Are you the Liverpool ONE?’ search will kick off at the end of
this month and Liverpool ONE needs your help! Guys and Gals, young
and old, curvy and slim are all invited to take part if you think
you have what it takes in the fashion stakes…
The search will commence on Friday, 25 April 2008 and each
consecutive Friday right up to 16 May 2008 will see Funky Friday’s
coming to your offices, favourite bars and on the streets of
Liverpool!
Each week Liverpool ONE will post photos taken on Funky Fridays onto
the Liverpool ONE
website and open the vote to the
public.
After each Friday event, photos will go up for one week, and every
week the public’s favourite two will be short-listed for the grand
final. 8 finalists will be invited along to the Liverpool ONE launch
event on 29 May as VIP guests and the winner will be announced on
the day!
If you want to get involved, just dress your best on one of these
four dates:– 25 April 2008, 2 May 2008, 9 May 2008 and 19 May 2008;
the Liverpool ONE scouts whereabouts will be disclosed nearer the
time, and all information will be available online! If you think
your colleagues have the cutting edge then spread the word!
Liverpool ONE is looking for a stylish man OR woman. The winner will
be someone with self-confidence: Liverpool ONE wants to see a style
that reflects your personality and inspires others. Whether you
model yourself on a screen siren, an Indie-rocker or a super-model,
Liverpool ONE wants someone who is not afraid to mix high street
with couture, or charity shop chic with department store sexy. We
are looking for the Liverpool ONE!
Says Joanne Jennings chief executive at Liverpool ONE:-
“Liverpool ONE is so excited about the search for Liverpool’s most
stylish worker. We’ve known for a long time that the city is a trend
setter and this has been proven by the fantastic response we have
received from big name brands wanting to be a part of Liverpool ONE.
Liverpool ONE represents the future for the city and the fashion
industry clearly wants to be a part of it which is why we are now
launching the ‘Are you the Liverpool ONE’ search!’.
Not only will the winner of ‘Are you the Liverpool ONE?’ be a guest
at Liverpool ONE’s launch event on 29 May 2008, but will also
receive a fabulous £1,000 shopping spree courtesy of Debenhams and
John Lewis, enough to keep you stylish for the rest of the year!" |
New
sign starts new partnership
WHEN Paymentshield, whose offices
are at Kew Industrial Estate, approached the North West Regional
Spinal Injuries Centre at Southport Hospital offering to raise money
for a specific project, we took the opportunity to fulfil a project
which had it's roots in an idea over two years ago.
Dr Clive Glass, Clinical Director at the Spinal Injuries Centre
explained:- "Back in 2005 we decided we wanted a logo which
reflected what we did and where we are. One of our ex-patients Ryan
Forshaw was asked to come up with a design and in September 2005
Ryan's design was finally agreed. The star in the centre of the
wheel is over Southport, the fact that we support people from a lot
of places around the Country is represented by the UK map and the
figure in the chair shows a lot of movement and hope.
Having got the design we wanted to use it, and while it is on all
the literature about the Centre, we really wanted to put it on a
sign by our main entrance. We were absolutely delighted when
Paymentshield approached us saying the wanted to adopt us as one of
their local charities. It has meant that we are finally able to
design a sign that truly reflects the support we give to people with
spinal cord injury across the North West, proud that the logo
designed by our ex-patient Ryan Forshaw is now publicly displayed,
and grateful for the kind donation from Paymentshield staff who made
it happen."
Jacqueline Barlow, Relationship Manager at Paymentshield added:-
"As one of Southport's leading employers we want to reach out
positively into the community. The Spinal Injuries Centre is one of
Southport's longest established specialist facilities and we can see
no better reason to join forces.
Our staff had a great day dressing down at work to raise funds to
purchase the entrance sign needed by the unit, and we are happy to
have officially presented the sign. We look forward to many more
joint ventures in the future."
