The mane attraction

Blackpool Zoo has welcomed a new arrival – Wallace the lion. Named after the monologue ‘Albert and The Lion’, which is a story about Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom taking their son Albert to Blackpool Zoo where he was swallowed whole by Wallace the lion!

Wallace, who is a two and a half year old African male lion, has settled in well. The zoo already has three female lions and the zoo hope to breed from him next year.

ICG thinks Wallace will be a roaring success!

Shiver me timbers!

ICG’s client, Blackpool Zoo, will be holding a swashbuckling Pirate Weekend from Saturday 23rd and Monday 25th August. Visitors in full fancy dress will receive a 20% discount on admission. So if you see anyone resembling Jack Sparrow wandering around Blackpool this weekend, you know why!

New ICG recruit

This is the first glimpse of the latest member of the ICG Design team.

ICG wanted to inject some more fresh new talent into the company so where better to start than with a 12 week old foetus.

ICG Designer Emily is pregnant with the young new recruit, due 28th February 09. Any (sensible) name suggestions are welcome and we'll keep you up to date with his/her progress.

Camp ICG

August 2008 saw the start of our annual ICG camping trip to Dent in West Yorkshire.

The weekend started off with a wet and windy trip up the M6. This didn't dampen the spirits of ICG and with the tents erected and a few pints of the local brew inside us we were ready for a weekend of walks, BBQs, beer, rain, birthday lego cake, farmers, sunshine and Larmas.
