opportunity to complete the London Marathon again after a 12 year gap.
This time around was much more painful than I remember from before, although rose-tinted glasses maybe playing a part in my selective memory.
Yet, importantly, I have fulfilled my goal and achieved my Jenrick Experience!
I have to admit that crossing that finish line was an extremely emotional experience. You don’t realise how much mental energy it takes to complete the marathon until you’ve reached the end, especially as this time around it was not plain sailing by any stretch of the imagination!

The Envelope Works has recently been featured in Printweek 
highlighting their success in gaining FSC & PEFC accredition during 2008.
Of particular note was the fact that The Envelope Works achieved the accreditation within just a two week time period - one of the shortest ever recorded.
Much of this was put down to the organisation and input of Adrian Booth, Estimating Manager for The Envelope Works, who had worked with the FSC before and was very aware of what processes needed to be in place in order for the company to become accredited.
