The Sock Detectives
This is the section where you can read all about our exciting lives and the latest news from Label HQ!
Which TV character do you most resemble?
It’s been a long week and then you get to Friday and need to unwind a little. Over a cup of tea we debated (as you do on a Friday) which character each of us at Label HQ most resembled, the results of which are below. We only managed to offend each other a couple of times - enjoy the clips.
Emma – (Customer Detective) aka Marge Simpson
Emma is our front of house luvvie whol always keeps our customers so happy. When not addressing everyone with “My Lovely” her life begins to resemble that of Marge Simpson: the heart of the family always organising everyone, she operates without sleep and between work and home always seems to be juggling one thing too many.
Matt – (Operations Detective) aka Rocky Balboa
Matt is our operations machine, responsible for the lovely labels you order. He lives his whole life to the Rocky soundtrack, on a number of occasions he has actually been chased by children through the streets of Tewkesbury – he was scared witless.
Gerard – (Marketing Detective) aka Chandler Bing
Gerard sits quietly in the corner doing ‘marketing stuff’ that no-one else really understands, he also writes most of the stupid things you may have read on our site. When he does occasionally interact with everyone else it’s normally laced with the sarcasm of Chandler Bing.
Louise – (Office Detective) aka Lucy from Snoopy
Louise is the quietly efficient one in the background who organises, cajoles and as it turns out, now seems to be in charge of us – she manages everyone like Lucy from Snoopy.
Test your ironing skills with our labels

That’s right, we NEED you! Well some of you. We’re looking to build an ARMY (quite small) of testers across the country. We’re looking for individuals with a special set of attributes, primarily an enjoyment of ironing or sewing.
We don’t launch any products without a thorough testing process, that’s why we can offer a lifetime guarantee on them. But it seems some of our friends no longer want to spend weekends ironing labels onto garments and then running them through the washing machine eighteen hundred times. Some of the keener ones can’t even find spaces on their clothes to add any more labels.
We need to test our labels in all environments and with our geographical knowledge we appreciate that it is normally a heck of a lot colder up north, than down south. So we want people from Inverness down to Portsmouth who want to help. All ages and both male and females are welcome.
Who knows where it could lead to (we don’t really have a plan), but it could be fun and that’s the most important thing.
What’s in it for you?
Some labels which will hopefully stay on – it is testing after all.
We may send you a sticker or something else completely exclusive, which recognises your outstanding contribution to the name label industry.

Livvie's Lair! - Where we keep our kids
Here at Label HQ we like to make sure every one of our team are looked after and happy. So when we noticed our smallest member of the team was wilting a bit one evening we decided they needed their own little staff room to be created. After sticking together a mood board and everything else in the process, we ruffled up enough bits and bobs out of the airing cupboard to create a cosy little corner under the stairs.
So evolved Livvie’s Lair!
Of course we followed all health and safety regulations by making sure that no heads would be bumped and that she could breath, but most important that everything was labelled so nothing went missing. Stick on labels for her drink bottle and yum yum tin, tagg-on labels for cuddly friend’s ears (useful tip if going on holiday to tag loved bears and toys on the ear, sounds painful but if you kiss them during process they don’t feel a thing) and iron on for socks and pants so that when an impromptu strip is required because mummy and Louise like the heating on high, you can find everything.

Livvie says all friends are welcome if child minders/school or nursery is not available!!!! The rest of the team may have different thoughts on that unless they are good at making cups of tea and doing the washing up!
