Access Point Roof Top Party

Jacquie Sim 
Business Development Manager

To celebrate our best ever financial year, our directors David Robertshaw and Jeanette Morgan recently threw a spectacular party on the roof of our head office in Southport.  Our office building is situated on historic Lord Street and boasts a fantastic view across the town; but from the roof, the views are truly spectacular as the extensive beach, the  Irish Sea and even Blackpool Tower are clearly visible.

As the morning of the party arrived the excitement was mounting.  We had tried to host a similar event back in June but Glastonbury weekend weather stayed true to form and the party was a wash out.  This Friday however the sun was shining, the wind was still and the weather was perfect.

As the day went on, the booze started arriving, party outfits were being discussed and the excitement was growing.  Up on the roof the gazebo was being built, the tables were getting set up and the sun was still shining as we waited for 5pm to arrive!

The working day came to an end, the party outfits came out the bag and our colleagues from Liverpool started to arrive.  Up on the roof the tunes were blaring and beers were opened, the fun was just beginning with the arrival of food; locally made pizza, pasta and salad…delicious!

At around 7pm the sun started to go down and Davids special surprise arrived.  He had hired a covers band called Episode from the Wirral, and after they had finally managed to drag their equipment up three flights of stairs, the music started and they were fantastic!

The band played hits from across the decades such as Sex On Fire, Mustang Sally and my personal favourite was jiving to Johnny B Goode!  They were great fun, even allowing several members of our inebriated team to get up and ‘perform’ with them!

During a break in the music Jeanette and David gave a speech, individually thanking the team for all their hard work and dedication over the past 12 months, as well as the years previously.  They are really pleased with the way we are working more closely as a team and growing both as a company and as individuals.

After that, I have to confess for me it’s all a bit of a blur of good music, good friends and most to blame….good wine and what Access Point have always done best, a good time!!

Bring on the Christmas party and another fantastic year!!
