"Celebrating in style: how we design birthday tables at ZIM!" As Finance Manager at ZIM Germany GmbH & Co. KG, I am proud to not only keep an eye on the figures, but also to promote the well-being and happiness of our team members. One special tradition we have at ZIM is our festively decorated birthday tables. 🎉🎈 Our birthday tables are more than just a simple celebration - they are an expression of our appreciation for each individual colleague. It is important to us that our team members feel special on their special day. 💼🥳 What does a birthday table look like at ZIM? We let our creativity run wild and decorate the table with a colorful mix of garlands and other cool decorations. 🎈🎂 Small tokens of appreciation may seem simple, but they have a big impact on the working environment and team spirit. At ZIM, we pride ourselves on fostering a company culture based on appreciation, cohesion and enjoyment in the workplace. 🤝💼 I'm curious to see how other companies celebrate their employees and what traditions they uphold. #teamculture #birthdaytraditions #cohesion #joyatwork #ZIMFinance #togetherness #zimstorytellerz #theZfactor

I'm technically off work, I've downed tools to celebrate mid-winter. But I couldn't let a whole series of living seasonally posts go incomplete, so I used the magic and wizardry of technology to schedule a post today. It is Winter Solstice today, one of my favourite days in the whole calendar. The Celts knew it as Yule. It was a time to rest, and to celebrate the stillness of deepest and darkest winter. Traditionally we would have gathered together to share food, but also to quietly share stories too, preferably by the fire as we gather together to keep warm. The fire would be symbolic too, our demonstration of trust that the light will now return. Solstice would have been a time for rest and reflection, which is a far cry from what the modern festival of Christmas has become. In winter our energy tends to be on a low ebb, so we are asking a lot of our minds and our bodies when we ask them to fully embrace what the festive season has become for many people. Just recognising this can be a great starting point, if you acknowledge it you can give yourself a bit of compassion for feeling the pressure. And you know, you might actually decide to lighten up on yourself a bit too. If you'd like a prompt for your journal today, give this one a try... What might I need to let go of in order to embrace some rest over the coming week? #wintersolstice #yule #wellbeing #mentalwellness #emotionalwellbeing

🎄 Multico’s Christmas Giveaway! This holiday season, we’re giving back to businesses with 5 complimentary electrical energy assessments—our gift to help you save money and run more efficiently in the new year. What We Look At: 🔍 Outdated systems that could be driving up energy costs by as much as 30%. 🔍 Inefficient layouts that impact productivity and increase operating expenses. 🔍 High energy consumption areas that drain resources unnecessarily. Why It Matters: - Small Businesses (e.g., retail shops, small offices): Save £3,000–£5,000/ year Smaller spaces with fewer lights and lower energy consumption still benefit significantly from switching to energy-efficient LED lighting and fixing small inefficiencies like overnight energy waste. - Medium Businesses (e.g., clinics, larger offices, commercial workshops): Save £7,000–£10,000/year - Medium-sized premises often have higher energy needs due to more equipment, larger heating and cooling systems, and longer operating hours. This makes the savings from lighting upgrades and HVAC optimizations more substantial. - Large Businesses (e.g., warehouses, multi-floor offices): Save £15,000–£25,000/ -  Percentages Larger businesses consume far more energy due to extensive lighting, heating, and cooling systems. Upgrading these systems to energy-efficient alternatives and installing smart monitoring tools amplifies the potential savings significantly. 🎁 What You Get: We’ll evaluate your building’s entire electrical infrastructure and dive into your energy usage patterns to uncover actionable opportunities for savings. From reducing wasted energy to identifying upgrades that pay for themselves, we’re here to future-proof your business. ⏳Only 5 spots available—don’t miss this festive offer! 👉Drop me a message now to claim your complimentary assessment and start 2025 with smarter, more efficient energy usage.

The holidays are a time of magic and connection, but they can also feel like a whirlwind of to-dos. From perfecting the menu to wrapping gifts, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush. Trust me—I’ve been there. Over the years, my family has experimented with creative gift-wrapping methods, from eco-friendly newspaper to reusable bags. But no matter how festive the wrapping paper is, one truth remains: trying to do it allcan take the joy out of the season. That’s where the secret lies—delegation. In my latest blog, I talk about tips and tricks to creating a holiday season where the responsibilities are shared and stress levels are lowered.

“What Does Christmas Teach Us About Quality in Life and Construction?” Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! 🎄✨ Christmas is a celebration of togetherness, joy, and meticulous preparation. Every ornament hung on the tree, every light strung, and every gift wrapped teaches us the value of careful attention to detail. Similarly, in construction, quality control is what ensures that every piece fits perfectly, creating something that lasts for generations. This festive season reminds us of: 🎁 The importance of preparation – Just like planning a perfect Christmas feast, laying the groundwork for a project ensures success. 🎁 Precision and attention – A crooked star on the tree catches the eye, just as flaws in construction can jeopardize its strength. 🎁 Resilience through teamwork – It takes many hands to make Christmas magical, just as it takes skilled professionals working together to build something remarkable. Let this Christmas inspire us to focus on quality, consistency, and mindfulness—not just in construction but in everything we do. Let’s build our lives and work on strong foundations, guided by purpose and attention. May your Christmas be filled with warmth, positivity, and infinite possibilities. May you create moments that last a lifetime—both at home and in the structures you bring to life. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎅🎁

Make it a night to remember – not regret... As you plan your New Year’s Eve celebrations, remember that a great night starts and ends with safety. Drunk driving puts lives at risk, and the consequences can last far beyond the stroke of midnight. Here’s how to celebrate responsibly: ✅ Plan ahead: Arrange for a designated driver, rideshare, or public transportation. ✅ Stay the night: If you’re celebrating at a friend’s house, consider crashing there. ✅ Keep an eye out: Don’t let friends drive drunk—help them find a safe way home. Together, we can keep our roads safe and ensure everyone starts the New Year on a positive note. Let’s make 2025 a year of good decisions, starting now. #NationalImpairedDrivingPreventionMonth

From a 1-foot tree to an 8-foot dream. I still remember our first Christmas at our home office. A tiny 1-foot tree sat on the desk, barely holding a string of fairy lights. It wasn’t much, but it symbolized something bigger—hope, growth, and the dream of building something meaningful. Fast forward to today, and here we are in our very own office, standing next to an 8-foot Christmas tree that feels like a celebration of how far we’ve come. Just like that little tree, we’ve grown. This past year, our roots deepened as a company, not just in numbers but in values. We’ve gone from strength to strength, but the one thing that’s stayed constant is the way we’ve built everything—with ethics at the core. It’s not just the tree that grew; our clients did too. We helped brands scale, told stories that mattered, and created content that didn’t just meet expectations but exceeded them. And our team? It’s no longer a handful of people; it’s a thriving group of individuals who bring passion, creativity, and heart into everything they do. As we stand by this 8-foot tree today, I’m reminded that growth isn’t just about size—it’s about purpose. And if this past year is anything to go by, there’s so much more we’re ready to grow into. Here’s to planting seeds, nurturing roots, and celebrating every branch of our journey. Merry Christmas!
