Hunting Elephants in London
If you are not one of the fortunate few to be seeing the football in South Africa, you can still have a safari of sorts in the concrete jungle of London. The Elephant parade has hit London and is showcasing a total of 258 painted elephants all around the capital from May to July 2010.
Powwownow staff set to the streets for this good cause and captured as many elephants as they could on camera. They managed to get an impressive 129 elephants so far! See our gallery on Flickr…

Over 500 Positive comments, WOW!!!… So we are giving 500 back!
Thanks everyone who took part in our lastest iPad giveaway and for sharing your thoughts about Powwownow – we received some fabulous feedback! Here are some of our favourites – including our winner’s post!
- Dan Harris I like the fact that it just does what it’s supposed to do without any fuss or hassle!
- Tom Pham Simplistically Amazing
- George I I couldn’t live without powwownowI Love it.. You get a card as well!!
Wahoo, I’m hooked. Come on peeps join the Powwownow revolution! - Nicky Orr This is genius! Our friend goes up and down the country, by plane, to meetings which last for 2 hours and I say, “Stop! Pow Wow Now. Because our children can’t afford to pay for this flying habit.”
- Stephen Whittle Brilliant service!
- Dave Bryant As a charity attempting to make cost savings during the recession, Powwownow has been invaluable to us. It’s been possible to hold simple meetings over the phone rather than paying external contributors travel and accommodation expenses. This has allowed us to produce important work at a fraction of the cost in many cases.
- Douglas Brodoff POWWOWNOW is WOWOWOW!
Feeling unlucky? Maybe not…
Fancy a walk….and a drink maybe?
Posted by Casey Williams in Events, Opinions on 20th May 2010
As most people you ask will tell you, the best way to experience London is on foot. I would like to agree; however the only issue is I don’t really like walking. That is until I found out that you can walk, learn a whole lot about London and take regular rest breaks at great pubs on the Along the Thames Pub Walk.
I also found out that it’s also a great way to kick off a Stag night, which is exactly what we did for Powwownow’s Web Developer Mark who is getting married later this month.

Breakfast Powwownow Style
Posted by Louise.Rowlands in Events on 14th April 2010
As you may have realised here at Powwownow we like to work hard but we also like to enjoy ourselves now and again! One afternoon Mark and I were extolling the virtues of potato waffles and how they were so waffly vertitle as you could put them in the toaster!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSq_Fhcckvo&feature=related
Mark was horrified when Casey didn’t know what potato waffles were, she is from Australia and the humble potato waffle hasn’t go that far!
Mark decided he needed to convince Casey, and most of the 16 different nations we now have in the office, just how great they are. So he made breakfast for 20 people using just two microwaves and a toaster.
Stay at home and save the environment with Climate Care Day
Posted by Powwownowgreen in Events on 23rd March 2010
Now here’s a good idea: every UK office worker spending one day working from home in a bid to alleviate climate change.
Sounds a little crazy? Well, not really. Maybe not every office is equipped to do so, but with the widespread technology now available – such as telephones, fax machines and the Internet – there aren’t many jobs that can’t be performed to a certain extent remotely.
Cake Club Master Baker 2010
Posted by Louise.Rowlands in Events on 23rd February 2010
Well the first ever Powwownow Cake Club has drawn to a close and we have a worthy winner.
The last two cakes were very impressive, Nick and Carl made judging the final very difficult.
Cake A was a Chocolate mousse sandwich with speckled sweet sponge and shatterproof icing.
