In May 1991, three innocent young men started a branding business called Purple Circle at the tender ages of 24 years and with a grand total of 18 months post college work experience. It should have been a recipe for disaster, but somehow, we have kept going and kept growing. Now we’re 18 years old, so we’ve decided to produce a little website to celebrate and we’d love people to contribute so it becomes a showcase for ‘Shed Art’ across the world. Here’s the site and some of the early contributions, but more will be added every day in all sorts of different style and genres. www.shedloadsofideas.com All you need to do is download the template, be creative and then upload your idea to our server for us to showcase your brilliant work to the world. We’ll obviously make any links from your work to your site fully live and reciprocated. Thanks and have fun. John, Mich and Darren Now older and far, far more baldy
Johnny Lyle's new brand thinking 
There were 3 lads in Notingham
Who didn’t know what had got into them
They were in search of adventure
So they started a venture
It’s a business that out tops the lot of them!
They’ve a been joined by others
Who are like sisters and brothers
Working with them is so swell
We get on so well
How proud of them must be their mothers!
So, to Darren, Mitch and John
You’ve got it ‘spot on’
Just keep on fighting,
More clients you’ll be ‘delighting’,
I know because I’m one!
Work hard and play,
It’s the Purple Circle way
You’ve won lots of awards
You deserve the rewards
18 years on, ‘Happy Birthday’

Friend, helper and client (and crap at drawing sheds!)
Thanks mate. What a lovely poem. I’ll forward it on to the others.
I think we need a beer or two to celebrate.
Cheers
John
