Advantages of working remotely
This remote working has its perks! Caroline, our Senior Graphic Designer, has been working from France the last few weeks. Not a bad view!
TLC Complete the Tree Top Challenge!
Team TLC recently met for a day of fun and adventure at Go Ape, situated in the beautiful Itchen Valley Country Park. Following a safety briefing, the team set off along the high ropes, swinging, climbing and zip-lining between the trees! We then tucked into a delicious BBQ lunch in the sun. Recharged and raring to go, we then took part in an outdoor escape room that saw us work together to solve puzzles and riddles to save a monkey, who had been kidnapped by poachers. We all had a great time, meeting face-to-face once again and we were over the moon to hold the record for the fastest escape room time!
Team TLC try archery!
Team TLC met for the first time since July to practice some Covid-secure archery and axe throwing with Insight Activities at a beautiful woodland in Fordingbridge. After safety briefings and instructions, the Team set off to try and hit the targets using bows, axes, and even crossbows! Luckily, no one got an arrow to the knee and it was a great day out, with the team getting to speak face-to-face and meet our newest member Filip!
#StayHome – How Team TLC have gone remote
It’s business as (un)usual for Team TLC. Like many other businesses, we packed up our laptops and made the move from the office to our living rooms last month.
For a team that’s used to collaborating face-to-face on a constant basis, working from home has been a tough but useful adjustment. As a result, we’ve been holding a daily Zoom call each morning to catch up and put a smile on everyone’s faces.
Since the move, we’ve been setting up our new workspaces and enjoying the extra time spent with our pampered pets. They’re proving to be a popular topic in the team WhatsApp and make great quality control managers as they keep a watchful eye over our work!
We’re here to help
While we settle into the new norm, we’ve been making some changes to our service offering to ensure we can continue to help our fellow SMEs with marketing support during this challenging time. As a result, we’ve switched to virtual Marketing Ideas Sessions with regular slots available to book for free over the coming weeks.
If you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of the team, our phone lines and emails remain open. Get in touch with us on 01962 600147 or info@tlc-business.co.uk.
From all of us, stay safe and keep well.

A lovely early Christmas gift for TLC from our client
Christmas came early for TLC today! One of our clients very kindly surprised us with this lovely hamper of chocolates and champagne.
Thank you to all our clients for a brilliant 2019 and we look forward to working with you in 2020!
A spectacular meeting view
We travelled to Salisbury for a client meeting yesterday and were particularly wowed by the view from their balcony!
Another happy client! TLC receive a delicious thank you gift
Last Friday, one of our clients very kindly surprised the TLC team during our monthly meeting with this delicious box of Krispy Kreme donuts – to say thank you for helping them secure their first sale off the back of one of our lead gen emails. The donuts were massively appreciated by the team and we’re very pleased to have another happy client!
Camkids celebrate their best year yet
TLC Business have been proud sponsors of The Cambodian Children’s Charity for 9 years now, so we’re really pleased to share their latest update about how the charity’s education program is going.
2019 has been an excellent year for the charity, with another cohort of final year students successfully graduating (despite the outside pressures on children in this region of Cambodia to leave school and get a job in the fields or factories as early as possible); as well as successfully installing electricity in their CCC school, which helps Cambodian children from poorer backgrounds have access to an education.
A few highlights from 2019 include:
- The CCC School reaching 423 students, from kindergarten through to Grade 6
- The CCC School achieving a 98% pass rate
- The Cambodian Children’s Charity health clinic providing free healthcare services to more than 2000 children and 847 villagers
- Eighteen volunteers visiting the CCC school to teach Maths and Literacy
