An award-winning adventure story set at Tower Bridge. While the crowds are waiting for The Queen to pass under the bridge in her Royal Barge Bella, the Tower Bridge Cat notices a London bus is heading across the opening bridge. She has to act quickly to help Babs the Bus Driver save all the bus passengers, and the day. We watch the bus fly over the opened bridge and enjoy a beautiful firework display over the Thames at the end. The story gets its inspiration from the true story of the number 78 jumping over the opening Tower Bridge in 1952. The Tower Bridge Cat won Best Children's Publication at the ACE Product Awards 2019.
A baby whale is stuck under Tower Bridge and a giant ship is coming up the river that will squash him if Bella The Tower Bridge Cat doesn't rescue him. The Tower Bridge team have lots of fun and creative ideas to try and get the baby whale to swim back down the river - but Bella doesn't think the baby whale would like any of them. She realises the baby whale misses his Mum and thinks of a plan, it is dangerous and daring as the colossal cruise ship is getting nearer every minute! Just in time, Bella the Tower Bridge Cat rescues the baby whale spectacularly with the help of her friend, the famous acrobatic pilot Maya the Flyer and the baby whale is reunited with his Mum who is waiting out at sea for him.
When Leigh Perkins bought the Orvis Company in 1965, the fly-fishing and bird-hunting outfitter was a sleepy business with annual sales that had leveled off at $500,000. Over the next thirty years Perkins built Orvis's annual sales to $100 million by revolutionizing the catalog retail industry and reshaping the company's tradition-bound culture. He achieved this by blending his love of nature with his business acumen and bringing the commonsense approach he learned in the streams and on his hunts to his boardroom decision making. The basic principles he used to run his business include: The Customer Is Always Right. . . Even When You Know Damned Well He's Wrong: Perkins put such a high priority on customer service that he would personally man the phones at the height of the holiday season each year to keep in touch with his customers. Product Excellence: Perkins made sure that everything Orvis sold was of the highest quality--even if that meant he had to fight the US government to get access to embargoed Chinese bamboo for fly rods. Empower Your Employees: By promoting from within, and by empowering his employees to solve problems without manager involvement, Perkins built a loyal and talented team. Living the outdoor life his catalog popularized, Perkins traveled all over the world to fish and hunt, from Argentina to New Zealand, while devoting his resources to conservation causes worldwide.
