UK Managing Director Jeanette Stevens turns 50!

On Wednesday 17th September 2014, UK Managing Director Jeanette Stevens turned the big Five-o! She had a fun packed day full of surprises. As some of you may or may not know, Jeanette is obsessed with the colour purple. For one present, Mark surprised Jeanettes by transforming her beloved quad bike (nicknamed Denzil)  from red to a beautiful purple. As you can see she LOVED it!  

The surprises kept coming when Mark arranged a surprise party with Friends and Family. It was all a bit overwhelming for Jeanette especially when her son’s Scott and Ashley presented a framed photo of the two brothers together. 

What do you get the girl who has everything? …A box to put it in! 

Enzoani UK office were at a loss as to what to get for a present. So we decided to treat Jeanette to an experience she won’t forget. Jeanette and Mark will be going on a flight around the beautiful coastline of the Gower peninsula in a private light aircraft. Mark and Jeanette moved down to Swansea from England over 2 years ago, and this will give them a great view of the beautiful coast line like they have never seen. 

And it didn’t end there…

As the main present, Mark has arrange for Jeanette and himself to an active vacation in the rain forests of Costa Rica, a destination in which Jeanette has longed to go to. Costa Rica is home to some of the most diverse wildlife on earth with incredible bird, amphibian and insect life, and of course the Sloth and Anteater. White golden beaches, tropical rainforests, Mangroves and active Volcanoes, Costa Rica will be a memorable place to visit without doubt.
