On Friday evening, @thomasdakingin joined some of Manchester's most well-known faces to celebrate the launch of The Great & The Good Collection, an exhibition featuring some of the region's most influential people - including @sachalord, @bernardocarvalhosilva & @andyburnhamgm. Limited edition prints are now on sale, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity in support of the A Bed Every Night homelessness initiative.

What's zero sugar and on promotion as Gin of the Month at @greeneking_official pubs across the UK? Our bestselling @greenallsgin Wild Berry and Blueberry flavoured gins of course! This month we're putting consumers right at the heart of our Greenall's zero sugar campaign, encouraging the nation to forego total abstinence in favour of a bit of balance by bringing gin yoga classes to Greene King pubs in London, Cambridge and Stockport. Just the tonic for those who might have fallen off the Dry January bandwagon or abandoned their quest to hit the gym multiple times each week.

We like a challenge here at Quintessential Brands, both at work and outside of the office, so this year, a group of colleagues from Warrington & London are joining forces to take on the National Three Peaks Challenge in aid of the North West Alzheimer's Society. If you'd like to donate, you can find the link to their JustGiving page in our bio.
